Description
Bug description
In the project configuration for a book, every file listed as chapter starts a new chapter. This limits freedom in breaking the project into files.
I wish to break some chapters into multiple files (which should render as a continuous chapter), and at times i do not want a chapter level at all, and I want each file to be a section.
I suspect that an option to suppress starting new chapters would fix this issue and allow manual chaptering and sectioning of the book.

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how project configuration for a book turns listed files into chapters, then determine how continuous chapters and file-level sections should be represented. Done means a documented configuration behavior that supports the requested chapter and section arrangements, with coverage for the relevant book-rendering cases.
