fix(wiki): first-occurrence wins when heading normalization collides pre-existing duplicates
Review of PR #130 found a real bug in the new normalizeHeading matching:
idx was built with idx[normalizeHeading(s.heading)] = i, plain map
assignment while iterating secsA — last write wins. A page that already
carries two on-disk sections differing only by case or whitespace (real,
pre-existing corpus drift, the exact pattern #106 itself cites) never
collided in idx before this normalization existed, since it keyed on the
exact string. After normalization they collide, and every future update
silently, deterministically routes to whichever duplicate happens to
sort last in the file — the first one is frozen forever, never
receiving an update again, with nothing to say so. Same bug class
parseSections's own doc comment already warns about (two keys sharing
one map slot means one loses lookup visibility), reintroduced here.

Fixed by keeping only the first occurrence's index when a collision
happens while building idx — deterministic, and matches "earliest is
canonical," the same reasoning behind every other on-disk-wins default
in this file.

New test reproduces the exact review finding with a positional
assertion (the fresh bullet must land adjacent to the first
occurrence's own content, not the second) — a Contains-only version of
this test would have passed even with the bug present, since nothing is
literally deleted, a bullet just silently routes to the wrong of two
still-present sections.
