Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-15 (California T4 Merced build 2026-10-15) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-merced/pages/divisions__los-banos-division.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-15; 624926 bytes, sha256 b0b2c442867a83e2b5ae752d43c1b4c8360c9b173853f12c13c24abb533210f7) with the Orange HTML composer (compose-site.py, the Judicial Council theme's area): the article's content sections (section.jcc-section), news bodies (div.jcc-news-full) and title banners (div.jcc-hero; 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 (the page title, “Los Banos Division”); proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the containers' text less chrome and scripts) passes. Review note: The page lists traffic walk-ins on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, as the Traffic page's Walk-Ins section does; the Traffic page's FAQ adds Friday - the review task on the Traffic card.
