Automatically adjust chapter and act numbering on changes to Outline

Feature Request

Currently chapter and act numbers are auto-generated by AI when you generate the Outline. If you add or delete chapters or acts, the only way to fix numbering is to ask the AI to rewrite the Outline. This can work, but you have no guarantee that AI preserves the existing outline contents as-is, and have to tediously check the regenerated Outline content against the old content. It would be nice to have the ability to automatically number chapters and acts so that the numbers are automatically adjusted when chapters or acts are inserted or deleted.

    I usually change the numbers in the titles manually after I added or moved chapters (instead of asking the AI to rewrite, since it can be very expensive).
    Still, especially when I have more than 20 chapters in my project, it’s tedious to always adjust the numbers - but I like to always have them up to date that I can easily refer to them.

    Some simple mechanism that does the numbering for me would be nice.
