ADR001 - Title Format

ADR titles should follow the appropriate format for the document type.

Why This Rule Exists

Consistent title formatting makes ADRs:

Titles must follow the pattern # N. Title where N is the ADR number:

# 1. Record architecture decisions
# 42. Use PostgreSQL for persistence

Titles should be a simple H1 heading (no number required):

# Use PostgreSQL for persistence

# Use Rust for implementation

Missing number prefix.

# 1. Use Rust for implementation

Missing H1 title entirely or using wrong heading level.
