"A Single Kicker Still Flags"

One tracked uppercase label above one heading is enough. No repetition required.

Preview sequence

"Kicker Above An H3"

Subsection headings get no eyebrow either.

"Kicker Above An H4"

The ban runs down to h4.

"Sub Hero Heading"

A 32px h1 is below hero scale, so this pair belongs to the general ban.

"Small Caps Kicker"

Small-caps styling is the same label in a different costume.

Elements carrying a heading role are headings for this rule.

"Breadcrumb Trail Outside Nav"

A path with separators is wayfinding, not a kicker, even without a nav wrapper.

"Dateline Above Headline"

Editorial category-and-date meta lines are content metadata.

"Limitation Of Liability"

Legal and document numbering identifies the clause; it is not decoration.

"Indemnification Clause"

Statutory references keep their marker.

"Chapter Numbering Passes"

Spelled-out chapter numbering is document structure, like legal numbering.

"Application Panel Context"

Context labels inside application panels describe state, not decoration.

"Page Title After Nav"

A navigation landmark preceding the page title is chrome, not a kicker.

"Sentence Case Lead In"

Not uppercase, not small-caps: an ordinary standfirst.

"Untracked Caps Label"

Uppercase without tracking lacks the kicker styling signature.

"Intentional Brand Label"

Deliberate brand systems can opt out with an explicit marker.

"Hero Owned By Hero Rule"

Hero-scale h1 eyebrows stay with hero-eyebrow-chip; this rule stands down.
