Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-12 (California T4 Calaveras build 2026-10-12) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-calaveras/docs/local-rules/calaveras-superior-court-local-rules-eff-7-1-26-3.pdf (the court's rule book, its cover “CALAVERAS COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT LOCAL COURT RULES EFFECTIVE: JULY 1, 2026”, as fetched 2026-10-12; 7185805 bytes, sha256 1518beed5362aa96ee849265fde2622770c66708d65a49504c2dc694dcee9e65; 113 pages; this part PDF pages 7 to 8, printed pages 1 to 2) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow): the rules (PDF pages 7 to 65, printed 1 to 58 with an unnumbered last page) composed as one text, from Chapter 1's heading to Rule 10.3, and cut at the ten chapter headings and at Chapter 5's sub-heading “JUVENILE RULES”, each matched once as a whole line (every chapter opens a page); each rule page's running header (“Calaveras Superior Court”) and its page number (“N | P a g e”, its letters spaced) removed as chrome (117 lines; the last rule page prints neither); lines reflowed into the rules' paragraphs, each rule's number set with its title and its history as one line (“2.1 Filing and Format of Documents (Eff. 7/1/98; As amended, eff. 7/1/19.)”), each lettered or numbered subdivision starting a line, and each footnote on a line of its own; no table on the rule pages; the strike report (review/strike-report-2026-10-12.txt) finds three struck runs, each a single space (PDF pages 17, 84 and 85 - no word joined), and stray strokes striking nothing on two appendix form pages (87 and 88); the five soft hyphens (U+00AD) of the text layer, each at a printed line end and printed as a hyphen (review/render/soft-hyphens-2026-10-12.png), read as hyphens (the composer's glyph map, applied to the text and the layer alike); 8 whitespace-only fixes (build/book-fixes.json: Rule 1.6's heading set apart from its first sentence, which the reflow ran onto it; two false breaks rejoined, in Rule 2.5(a) before ““CONFIDENTIAL”” and in Rule 3.7 inside “Case Management Calendar”; the reflow's space after each soft hyphen removed - “(MC-500)” in Rule 2.14(f), “routine ex-parte” in Rule 3.1(a), “(Form RA-010)” in Rule 5.16(b) and the two addresses of Rules 5.16(g) and 6.1); the vertical-gap, short-line, page-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 short line, three bold headings and one false break 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 blank page 2, the table of contents (PDF pages 3 to 6), the reserved Chapter 9's heading (PDF page 64), the appendix of local forms (PDF pages 66 to 109) and the index (PDF pages 110 to 112; page 113 carries only the running header) belong to no card. Review note: The book's cover and table of contents print “EFFECTIVE: JULY 1, 2026”, while Rule 1.3 says “These Rules shall take effect on January 1, 2019” (the cards carry the cover's date); and the table of contents differs from the body on four headings - Rule 2.14 “As amended, eff. 7/1/26” (the body: “As amended, eff. 7/1/19”), Rule 3.3.7 “As amended 7/1/26” (the body: “As amended 1/1/18”), Rule 3.8 “Telephone Appearances” (the body: “Remote Appearances”) and Rule 5.8.1 “Filing the At-issue Memorandum” (the body: “At-Issue Memorandum Abolished”) - which the court intends (a review task).
