Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-10 (California T4 Lake build 2026-10-10) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-lake/docs/local-rules/local-rules-january-2026_v2.pdf (the court's rule book, its cover “SUPERIOR COURT, STATE OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF LAKE LOCAL RULES Effective 1/1/2026”, as fetched 2026-10-10; 852364 bytes, sha256 060a39793172b99fb99a1f839efb8fee0755a6d5c8c03d52d407d1d536399e9d; 69 pages) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow): the rule body (PDF pages 9 to 68; the chapters run on without page breaks) composed once and cut at the twenty chapter headings (“CHAPTER 1 ADOPTION AND APPLICABILITY OF RULES” to “CHAPTER 20 ELECTRONIC FILING”), the chapters reassembling the body exactly: each page's running header (“Superior Court, County of Lake”) and footer (the page number) removed as chrome; lines reflowed into the rules' paragraphs; Rule 5.8's ruled table (Case Plan Disposition Time Standards and Court Events, pages 29 and 30) read cell by cell by the table finder; no struck run on any of the 69 pages (review/strike-report-2026-10-10.txt); 22 whitespace-only fixes (build/book-fixes.json: Rule 5.8's table cells' lettered items and paragraphs set on their own lines (10); Rule 8.6's plans and its item 3 (3); Rule 3.13's history note (1); Rule 11.5's default fee schedule set row by row (1); the subheadings of Rules 3.5 (at a page break) and 4.10(c) set on their own lines (2); Rule 5.9's form number FL-105 and the word “denial” its Rule 5.9(E) prints across three lines set whole (2); and the sentences of Rules 9.4, 10.3 and 5.4(B) rejoined where the composition broke them before an inline item, a dash and a capitalized word (3)) and 1 same-character fix (build/book-captions.json: Rule 16.3(B)'s list of remote proceeding calendars, printed in two columns, set group by group); the vertical-gap, short-line, page-break, bold-line, row and false-break audits find no other; proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. The cover, the table of contents, the three local forms the book prints (LK-108, LKSC-420 and LK-117) and the index belong to no card.
