Suggested Solutions
As these are two different parts of the diagram a hard border that ensures that the timeline starts after the longest section name seems like it might be more idiomatic.
Additional Context
One workaround is to create a single 0-duration task before everything else, but it takes a bit of calibrating.
E.g.
gantt
title section demo
%%{init: {'theme': 'default' } }%%
dateFormat YYYY-MM-DD
excludes weekends
tickInterval 1week
weekday monday

I've read through the gantt docs and the issues on this repo but haven't found anything to suggest better control of the sections, e.g. using quotes. Trying this doesn't seem to work.
