Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-14 (California T4 Alpine build 2026-10-14) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-alpine/docs/local-rules/local-rules-2024.pdf (the court's rule book, its cover “SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF ALPINE LOCAL RULES OF COURT EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2024”, as fetched 2026-10-14; 937850 bytes, sha256 031af390c6d443c8fbd57f2b0b0f13150ca621bfca6b544c837f2e8e119ac3af; 41 pages; this part PDF pages 16 to 18, printed pages 11 to 13) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow): the general information and the rules (PDF pages 9 to 39, printed pages 4 to 34) composed as one text and cut at the part headings - “GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ALPINE COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT” and “CHAPTER 1: GENERAL COURT RULES” to “CHAPTER 7: TRAFFIC RULES”, each matched once as a whole line (a chapter may begin mid-page); the running header of every page (“Superior Court of California, County of Alpine” and “Effective July 1, 2024”, named) and the page number at its foot (“4” on PDF page 9, named and a whole line in its band - every printed number is the PDF page less 5) removed as chrome, with the twenty copies of four line tails the Word export drew again at the same place (the composer's overprint rule: a glyph drawn twice at one place prints once) - 82 chrome lines; lines reflowed into the rules' paragraphs, each rule's heading (“RULE 1.1. CITATION OF RULES”, “RULE 1.7.1 CIVIL CASES ...”), each lettered or numbered subdivision and each history line starting a line; the strike report (review/strike-report-2026-10-14.txt) finds no struck run on the book's 41 pages; 6 whitespace-only fixes (build/book-fixes.json: two rule references the pages wrap before “Rule”, a history wrapped before “(3)” and one before its rule reference, each rejoined; a paragraph the reflow ran across a page break, split; and the form number “RA-010”, closed up); the vertical-gap, short-line, page-break and false-break audits (review/book-gap-audit-2026-10-14.txt, review/book-short-lines-2026-10-14.txt and review/book-extra-audits-2026-10-14.txt) list candidates read one by one (build/book_fixes.py) - the rest kept as printed; the book's own text kept as printed (“for an any evidentiary hearing”, “eff. eff.”, “CCP sections 583.3100-0583.430”, “eff. January 12010”, “Cruz/Masolski”); proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. The cover (PDF page 1), the adoption and certification page (2, a scan), the table of contents (3 to 5), the list of currently effective rules (6 and 7), the list of local forms (8) and the index (40 and 41) belong to no card. Review note: Rule 3.6 prints “Jurors in the Bear Valley area are exempt from jury service when Highway 4 is closed.”; the Jury Service page (carded) quotes a “Local Rule 3.6 Seasonal Excuse From Jury Duty” in other words - the review task is on that card. Rule 3.8.2 prints “[REPEALED 2008] Repealed eff. 1/1/2009”.
