Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-07 (California T4 San Benito build 2026-10-07) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-san-benito/pages/general-information__court-calendars-and-judicial-assignments.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-07; 633247 bytes, sha256 e01ade72598f24cf06a0bca9950bd3556e2fbbeb1607e9e807b471a8c1966d17) with html-compose.py (the Orange composer): the article's content sections (section.jcc-section, div.jcc-news-full) only - the site header, menus, breadcrumb, title banner and footer lie outside them; each block starts a line; its 3 tables (one per department) set day by day, each column one line (build/transpose_tables.py; proofs: the same characters as the row-by-row composition, and a second reader's columns); chrome removed: 0 items; proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the sections' text less chrome and scripts) passes. Review note: The page sets each department's week as a table (days across, morning and afternoon rows); the card sets each table day by day (build/transpose_tables.py): its first line is the table's first column (“Department 1 AM PM”), then one line per day with that morning's and then that afternoon's calendars, every character kept. The court's PDF of the schedule (published June 22, 2026, linked from the page) differs: Department 2's Tuesday afternoon pre-trial conferences at 1:30 p.m. (the page repeats the morning's “8:30”), Department 3's Thursday out-of-custody felony calendar at 1:30 p.m. (the page: 2:30), Department 2's Monday 3:00 calendar “Traffic Arraignments and Traffic Walk-Ins”, the Presiding Judge as “Hon. Omar J. Rodriguez” and Judge Palacios as “Assisting Presiding Judge”; it adds that pre-trial conferences in Department 2 will be heard by a visiting judge (a review task asks which governs).
