Research direction

Review the section headings in examples/js_dsl/mod.zig and examples/js_dsl/mod.test.ts. Remove each Section N: prefix while preserving the descriptive titles and ==== rule lines. Done means both files use unnumbered headings consistently; no test changes are expected.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

examples/js_dsl/mod.zig and mod.test.ts label their sections with hardcoded numbers:

// ============================================================================
// Section 16: Static Class Fields
// ============================================================================

The numbering has already rotted — mod.zig jumps from 11 to 13 and from 13 to 15, so sections 12 and 14 were removed at some point without renumbering. The numbers carry no information the descriptive title doesn't already give, and they force churn (or drift) whenever a section is added or removed.

Raised in review on #76, where the new section was left unnumbered (// Async Tasks). That leaves the file inconsistent, so the remaining headings should follow.

Scope: strip the Section N: prefix from the remaining headings in examples/js_dsl/mod.zig and examples/js_dsl/mod.test.ts, keeping the descriptive titles and the ==== rule lines. Comment-only; no test changes expected.
