Use plenty of pva then if using bonding. The jobs I've quoted for lately and the so called plastering I've seen you are better off doing the work yourself. Trades gone down the pan.
Found in the shed lol...you could screw the cement board or a piece of plasterboard to the lintel. If you use cement board...blue grit it before bonding. If you use plasterboard go straight over with the bonding.
This thread is a prime example of people over thinking things.
Wooden lintels above internal doors used to be completely normal, same as the roof plate at the top of walls they just require a strip of EML nailing on them. The EML strip should be wide enough to span over onto the blockwork.
Yes technically it should have building paper underneath the EML, but I can guarantee you that in my forty four years of plastering I have never once seen it done.

Not sure whether we can claim off the Council. If they had not left the pavement in such a state then she wouldn't have fell.
Going back to my floating query. I have found a sheet of cement board in the shed. Can I screw this to the wooden lintels and float over with Hardwall?
