Six banner comments named sections that do not exist, in the "Section N" spelling rather than the section-sign one. Earlier renumbering sweeps matched the sign and missed these on the very same page, so they are leftovers of those fixes.

Each banner carries its own section TITLE, so every target is confirmed by matching that title against the draft's own header rather than by inference:

Section 10.3 Configuration Exchange -> 9.3 Section 10.4 Commit-Lock Pragmas -> 9.4 Section 10.5 Private-Content and Discovery Pragmas -> 9.5 Section 3.10 Round Message Layout -> 3.2.1 Section 9.1.1 Unversioned-File Synchronisation -> 8.5.1 Section 9.2.1 Derived Branch, Tag, Leaf, Closed, and Current-Trunk Views -> 8.6.1

Section 3.10 is not a deleted section after all, which both an earlier audit and this author had assumed: it is Round Message Layout, renumbered to 3.2.1. The comments reasoning about its removal, corrected in an earlier commit, remain accurate about the reasoning being void.

No "Section N" reference in the tree now names a section absent from its draft, down from six. Baseline unchanged at 173: this spelling is still invisible to the checker, which is its own item.
