Reviewer note: Held dark at the California go-live (owner ruling 2026-10-13, gate item A.13): this card rests on a section page read on 2026-09-28 from leginfo.legislature.ca.gov, whose robots.txt disallows every agent ("User-agent: * / Disallow: /", read 2026-10-03; a Cloudflare challenge page on 2026-10-14). It is re-published only after its text is re-verified, verbatim, from a channel robots.txt permits. Re-sourced 2026-10-22 (California parity Phase 4; the owner's ruling of 2026-10-13 on gate item A.13: re-publish once re-verified, verbatim, from a channel robots.txt permits): every paragraph of this card's text appears verbatim in Code Civ. Proc., § 12 as the Legislative Counsel publishes it in the official weekly code archive (downloads.leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/pubinfo_2025.zip, extract of 2026-10-18; LAW_SECTION_TBL row CCP12.1872, version id_8dce859e-291e-11d9-8231-adff999f5ee6; the host serves no robots.txt). The link stays the section's page on the official site, which robots.txt closes to automated reads; the archive is the verification receipt.
