When converting DOCX files generated by tools such as Lark/Feishu or third-party exporters, multi-level lists lose their hierarchy because <w:lvl> elements omit w:ilvl attributes. While Mammoth attempts a fallback to "0", its internal dictionary only retains a single unindexed level per abstractNum, discarding subsequent sub-levels (1, 2, etc.). This adds _pre_process_numbering() to pre_process.py to assign sequential level indices (str(idx)) to unindexed <w:lvl> tags within each abstractNum before passing the document to Mammoth. Tested against sample files and added a unit test in test_module_vectors.py.

When converting DOCX files generated by certain tools (such as Lark/Feishu or third-party web exporters), multi-level lists lose their hierarchy or have sub-levels dropped.
Looking into the OOXML structure, these documents define
<w:lvl>elements inside<w:abstractNum>without explicitw:ilvlattributes. While Mammoth attempts a fallback to"0", its internal dictionary only retains a single unindexed level per abstract definition, overwriting and discarding any subsequent sub-levels (1, 2, etc.).This patch adds
_pre_process_numbering()topre_process.py, following the same approach already used in_pre_process_styles. It walksword/numbering.xmland assigns sequential indices (str(idx)) to any unindexed<w:lvl>tags before Mammoth parses the file. If all levels already carryw:ilvl(standard Word files) or if no numbering definitions exist, the content is returned untouched with no overhead.Tested against real-world sample files and added a unit test in
test_module_vectors.py. Formatting verified withblack.
