Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-12 (California T4 Amador build 2026-10-12) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-amador/docs/local-rules/2025-01-01_local-rules-court-accessible.pdf (the court's rule book, its cover “SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF AMADOR Local Rules of Court Effective Date: January 1, 2025”, as fetched 2026-10-12; 2731170 bytes, sha256 a1d85880106808eb0665ed0313fc1d63b254623347ace78066f5cee3167f614e; 86 pages; this part PDF pages 7 to 8, printed pages 6 to 7) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow): the preface and the rules (PDF pages 6 to 70, printed 5 to 69) composed as one text and cut at the preface's heading and the eighteen chapter headings, each matched once as a whole line (no chapter opens a page of its own); each page's running header (“State of California Superior Court” / “County of Amador”) and running footer (“Revised 01/01/2025”, the page number, “Z/local rules/2025-01.01”, “www.amadorcourt.org”) removed as chrome (390 lines); lines reflowed into the rules' paragraphs, each rule's number set with its title, each lettered or numbered subdivision starting a line and each rule's history (“(Effective ...)”) on a line of its own; no table in the rules; the strike report (review/strike-report-2026-10-12.txt) lists 20 struck runs on 23 pages - every mark, rendered and read (review/render/strike-marks-2026-10-12.png), is a short filled tick, red or black, crossing one printed letter or a space inside a word, or a forms table's rule (PDF pages 72 and 85) - no text is struck, and the book is composed without strike-out; 5 whitespace-only fixes (build/book-fixes.json: the headings of Rules 1.02, 13.10 and 17.05, each printed on a line of its own, set apart from the first sentence the reflow ran onto them; Rule 8.14(F)'s heading, printed “F. Time” / “Limits:”, set as one line; two bullets of Rule 11.06(A)'s list of calendars, which the reflow joined, set apart); the vertical-gap, short-line, page-break, bold, false-break, fragment and row audits (custody file book_extra_audits.py; review/book-extra-audits-2026-10-12.txt and review/book-audits-after-fixes-2026-10-12.txt) list candidates read one by one (build/book_fixes.py) - one gap junction, two page breaks, two fragments, four two-line rule titles and Rule 6.04(C)(1)'s unfinished last sentence kept as printed; proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. The cover (PDF page 1), the table of contents (2 to 5), the appendix of local forms (71 to 72), the filing instructions and summary of changes (73), the alphabetical index (74 to 78), the list of effective dates (79 to 84) and the appendix of local forms ordered by name (85 to 86) belong to no card. Review note: The book’s cover reads “Effective Date: January 1, 2025” and the Local Rules page links it as the rules in force, while Rule 1.02 still reads “These Rules shall take effect July 1, 2017” (its history line ends “Amended 7/1/2017”, though Rules 4.03, 11.05 and 11.06 carry amendments of 1/1/2025); the cards carry the cover’s date (a review task).
