No blank line after summary breaks task list / checkbox

Extracted from issue #30182 (closed)

When a the <summary> tag does not have a blank line following it, then task items are not recognized as tasks (which is fine - there should be a blank line). However, the frontend thinks it's a valid task item, so checking any following tasks will try to check the invalid one.

This was discovered in an on-boarding issue.

1. [ ] People Ops: do such and such
