-// LIST numId DERIVATION: ODF has no docx-style shared numId at all -- a docx w:numId identifies one entry in numbering.xml that many, textually unrelated w:p elements can reference by attribute; an ODF text:list is instead a purely STRUCTURAL container (its own list items are its own XML children), so "which list does this paragraph belong to" is answered by tree position, not by an attribute lookup. To give downstream consumers (document-schema.js's ContentListMembership, mirroring docx's numId/level pair) an equivalent stable identity, this reader mints numId as a monotonically increasing counter ("list1", "list2", ...), ONE PER TOP-LEVEL text:list ELEMENT ENCOUNTERED IN DOCUMENT ORDER -- never per text:style-name. A text:list's own text:style-name was deliberately rejected as the numId source: it names a REUSABLE list-style DEFINITION (the marker/numbering format), and real documents routinely apply the identical list-style to two unrelated, non-adjacent text:list elements (e.g. two independent bullet lists both created from the same "List 1" paragraph style) -- collapsing those into one numId would violate the one hard requirement this reader must satisfy ("different text:list elements get different [numIds]"). A monotonic per-encounter counter satisfies that requirement unconditionally, is stable/deterministic for a given document (same input -> same output, useful for tests), and needs no cross-referencing at all. Nesting is layered on top of this identity, not a separate list: a NESTED text:list (one found while walking a text:list-item's own children, per the OASIS content model for list nesting) keeps its ENCLOSING list's numId unchanged and only increments level -- exactly mirroring how a docx numId spans every nesting depth of one multi-level list, with w:ilvl (level here) distinguishing depth. Nesting depth itself is never separately counted or inferred from indentation: it is read directly off the actual XML nesting depth of text:list inside text:list-item inside text:list ..., per this reader's own explicit design brief.

This encodes the ordered-vs-bullet kind into the opaque numId string (the same convention markdown-codec and documents.js's router-side docx normalization already use), so downstream consumers (the web app's buildListForest/renderer) can render <ol> vs <ul> without needing a separate field on ContentListMembership.
