Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-28 (California T3 San Diego build) from BenchPath custody ca/t3/ca-san-diego/dept/dept-N29.pdf (74566 bytes, sha256 219f4c1829710eeff91a7a943b0fbb40b6c5145020dbb97a7f76da0a4b944d16; 2 pages) with the shared verbatim composer: pleading line numbers, page footers and running headers removed as chrome, lines reflowed into the document's paragraphs; proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) both pass. Reflow correction 2026-09-29: 1 line break that fell inside a sentence is joined (whitespace only; the characters are unchanged) - the shared composer now continues a line that ends in a function word, or one followed by a lower-case line across a wide line pitch, and reads “v.” after a name as part of a case name.
