I've confirmed in the REST API Browser in Confluence (v7.4.0) that the results returned from Confluence are correct. I'm not sure why the title is expected to be an ancestor... Do we expect Confluence to list the page itself as an ancestor?

Here is where the page title is added to the ancestry tree. Here is where the ancestry check fails because the page title is not included as an ancestor from the Confluence API.

Interestingly, I was able to create the page, but not update it. Likely just because the ancestors had to be created at that time.

It works when you do not specify the root article title.
This works:

<!-- Space: ~wbhegedus -->
<!-- Parent: Notes -->
<!-- Parent: Miscellaneous -->
<!-- Title: Podman -->

I'll leave the issue open due to the un-intuitive behavior/error, that should likely be addressed.

This may only occur when the page already exists. The first time I ran, it worked fine:

# mark -f Data\ \&\ BI\ Notes/index.md

https://something.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/~fffffffffffff9424e42dbbe0c4a15deffffff/pages/3854893057/Data+BI+Notes

Then, running it again after a minor change (with slightly different args because I was trying to also add another page) it failed:

# mark -f 'Data & BI Notes/**.md'
2025-02-24 17:18:39.127 INFO  processing Data & BI Notes/index.md

                                 ├─ actual: Overview

                                 └─ title: Data & BI Notes

But then, after finding this issue and removing the only <!-- Parent: ... --> line, it worked again:

# mark -f 'Data & BI Notes/**.md'

This is especially unintuitive, because the README.md states that Parent is required, but removing the only one in the file fixed this issue.
