Reviewer note: | Set to in_review 2026-07-26: the order's subject looks practitioner-facing but the extracted text captured only recitals or an effective date, not the operative ORDERED section. This is an extraction defect, not a judgement that the order is unimportant — it needs re-extraction before it goes back on the published surface. | Re-extracted 2026-07-26 from the numbered paragraphs following the order's ORDERED clause, replacing a first pass that had captured recitals and the effective date. Text layer cleaned 2026-09-08 (Phase 3e): running page headers/footers removed; wording untouched. Verbatim from the operative section of this order, re-extracted 2026-07-26; whitespace normalised only. [moved from the text 2026-09-14]
