Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-08 (California T4 Contra Costa build 2026-10-08) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-contra-costa/pages/divisions__probate__about-probate-calendar-notes.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-08; 590180 bytes, sha256 a21bbd737d6845ecc5d42b2b1addcf682a4ca821d69ff23e39c700ec55ef1f77) with html-compose.py (the Orange composer, with Contra Costa's area): the article's content sections (section.jcc-section), news bodies (div.jcc-news-full) and title banners (div.jcc-hero, which on this site can carry a lead paragraph; the first banner's heading, the page title, is chrome) - the site header, menus, breadcrumb and footer lie outside them; each block starts a line and each table cell is set on its own line; chrome removed: 1 item; proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the containers' text less chrome and scripts) passes. Review note: The page's five-day filing deadline for pleadings responding to calendar notes differs from Local Rule 7.55 (two (2) court days before the hearing) - the review task on Chapter 2 of Title Seven.
