The sub-verb lint (internal/core/lint/subverbs.go parseSubVerbTable) treats finding the ## Sub-verbs heading as finding the table: a surface file with the heading followed by prose and no header row passes with no finding, while the brief surfaces README promises that a file without the table is a finding whatever its verb registers. Fix: require the table's header row under the heading; test a heading-only file.

Grounds

• pursued: every surface file whose Sub-verbs section has no header row draws a surface_coverage finding; a heading-only file passing record-lint would show it wrong
