fix: normalize section headers so OpenClaw SOUL.md isn't empty (15 agents) (#704)

convert.sh's OpenClaw conversion routes persona sections (Identity,
Communication, Critical Rules, Style, Learning & Memory) to SOUL.md and
everything else to AGENTS.md by matching `## ` header keywords. 15 agents
produced an empty SOUL.md because no header matched — the same class as the
#670 fix. Two distinct causes, two minimal fixes:

- 13 agents used a `##`-level persona section under a non-canonical name
  ("Role Definition" / "Core Expertise"). Renamed to "Identity & Role
  Definition" / "Identity & Core Expertise" — header text only, zero content
  change (each is a clean +1/-1 diff).
- 2 agents (french-consulting-market, salesforce-architect) had full persona
  sections but at `#` (H1) with no title — the literal #670 bug. Shifted every
  header one level deeper (fence-aware, so code-block content is untouched) and
  added a `# <Name>` title. These now lint 0/0.

Verified: 0 "no section headers map to SOUL.md" warnings remain (was 15);
regenerated OpenClaw output confirms all 15 SOUL.md files are now populated
with the persona; AGENTS.md retains operations; no agent content changed;
guards green. Total lint warnings 87 -> 59 (remaining are advisory
"missing Core Mission/Critical Rules", intentionally not forced).

# 🚨 Critical Rules You Must Follow
## 🚨 Critical Rules You Must Follow
1. **Always distinguish TJM brut from net.** A 600 EUR/day TJM through portage salarial yields approximately 300-330 EUR net after all charges. Through micro-entreprise, approximately 420-450 EUR. The gap is significant and must be surfaced.
2. **Never recommend hiding remote/international location.** Transparency about location builds trust. Mid-process discovery of non-France residency kills deals and damages reputation permanently.

5. **Portage salarial is not employment.** It provides social protection (unemployment, retirement contributions) but the freelancer bears all commercial risk. Never present it as equivalent to a CDI.
