Remove Obsolete File Metadata Tests for Numeric Prefixes #190

Description

@samayer12

Description

The codebase contains test cases for numeric prefix handling in file metadata generation that are no longer needed. These tests are marked with "Partially needed" comments (or other keywords, @AmberFryar?), indicating they were kept for legacy compatibility but be removed once the numeric prefix feature has been deprecated.

Background:
The file metadata system previously supported numeric prefixes (e.g., 010_filename.md, 020_filename.md) for ordering documentation files. This feature was later removed, but some test cases were retained for backward compatibility or transition purposes.

Current state:

  • These tests validate behavior for a feature (numeric prefixes) that no longer exists
  • Keeping these tests adds maintenance overhead and confusion

Impact:

  • Test suite bloat - Unnecessary tests make the suite harder to understand and maintain
  • Misleading coverage - Tests for removed features don't provide value
