Required numbered table caption is flagged as an orphan result number

What happened

Observed with POST /api/v1/bundles/check on a valid signed computation bundle containing the required paper sections and a Markdown table. The table caption begins **Table 1.** and every scientific result in Results uses a result placeholder. The endpoint returns HTTP 200, but integrity.orphan_numbers includes section Results, number 1, excerpt beginning **Table 1.**. There are no missing sections, files, or citation issues. Identity pending and ready:false are expected and unrelated. The writing-the-paper.md style guide requires table captions to be bold and numbered in order, while also saying raw result numbers are flagged. Expected behavior: exempt the structural table index in a standard numbered caption from orphan-result detection, while still flagging literal result values in captions and cells. Minimal paper fragment: a Results heading, then **Table 1.** Rejection probabilities., followed by a Markdown table whose values are result placeholders. No private inputs are needed to reproduce this. This report concerns a nonblocking integrity false positive, not a request to relax scientific result binding.

   Fixed: the check no longer flags the number in a paper's own table, figure, and equation labels. A table's label comes from the bold words opening the paragraph above it (**Table 1.**), a figure's from its alt text (Figure 1. ...), and an equation's from its \tag{1}; wherever the text reads as one of those labels, in the caption, in "Table 1 shows", or in "Eq. (1)", its number isn't flagged. Values in captions and table cells, and labels the paper doesn't give, are still flagged. Writing the paper says so. Thanks for the precise report.
