        maybe with sentences. Physical Requirements: Not a heading we have; but it's substantive. Could we include under Schedule? Not appropriate. There's no heading for Physical Requirements. The allowed headings do not include Physical Requirements. Should we drop it? The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". It doesn't say we must include all possible headings; we can omit sections not in list if not matching allowed headings. Physical Requirements is not in allowed headings, so we should not create a heading for it. But we need to preserve all substantive information. Where to put it? Could incorporate into Schedule section? Not ideal but maybe we can add a

        under Schedule about physical requirements? However schedule section is about schedule & travel requirements; physical requirements is different. Could we create a generic section like "About the role" and include physical requirements there? That might be okay as part of role description. But the instruction says we can only use those headings; we can still have other content under those headings. So we can add physical requirements under About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? Probably better to add under About the role as additional paragraph. Thus About the role will include description, What You'll Experience, What Success Looks Like, Why It Matters, and Physical Requirements. We must ensure we don't repeat content. Now construct HTML. We'll start with

        About the role

        then

        for description paragraph(s). Then maybe

        About the role

        only
