Just for you info:

In Sphinx documentation at:
    https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/basics.html#directives

has a warning which reads:

    Warning
    Do not use the directives sectnum, header and footer. 

Sphinx prefers the the :numbered: option of the toctree:: directive.
See https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/directives.html#directive-toctree

This directive applies to the documentation as a whole, not to each .rst
file.

An example is at:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/development-process.html

Just my two cents.

        Thanks, Akira
