Footnotes are moved to a checklist; the marker leaves the post text. This applies to LinkedIn, where the result is manual step.

Why, and what to do
The composer has no footnote control, so the reference and its definition are lifted out of the payload rather than pasted as literal markers.
Do this: Work each note into the post text, or add it as a comment, using the definitions listed below.
Limits of this rule
- It describes the surface and date in the table above, not every version, theme, or plugin.
- Reading it in isolation hides the other rules that touch the same draft.
- A rule is only as current as the test date beside it.
