Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-07 (California T4 Inyo build 2026-10-07) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-inyo/docs/local-rules/inyo-local-rules-court-7-1-2025-final.pdf (2192390 bytes, sha256 a6aa75be2cec1e4f127ddf327214b9c900e83376971d9542c1aaafb652cc7684; 68 pages) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow).
