Research direction
Reproduce the duplicate Chapter1 » Section1 » Section1 result by searching a book whose section name matches the top-level title, using the reported mdBook v0.4.36 behavior as a reference. Trace the search-result generation and determine how the repeated section label is included; done means the label appears only once and the behavior is covered by an appropriate regression test.
