Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-08 (California T4 Contra Costa build 2026-10-08) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-contra-costa/docs/general/ntc-avail_032326.pdf (165532 bytes, sha256 5e6f465655923cb503a6b7ee63fc3dac8d5ec18fec5ec4f253c26afb143a4239; 1 page) with the table lane (build/table_lane.py): the notice's five-column table, whose dotted row rules the composer's table finder cannot see, set one printed row a line with its cells joined by “ | ” (a row holding only a judge's name joined to the department row below it), then the footnotes; the proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the page's text layer) passes. Review note: Footnote 2 cites the "December 30, 2024 order of Presiding Judge" on electronic recording; Standing Order 1.8 (August 11, 2026) rescinded its first amended version (October 2, 2025). The first footnote line runs off the page ("where a reporter is reques") and "offical" is so printed. Department 39 shows "Vacation until 5/29/26". Whether the notice is current after August 11, 2026 is a review task.
