Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-08 (California T4 San Luis Obispo build 2026-10-08) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-san-luis-obispo/docs/local-rules/local-rules-be-effective-july-1-2026.pdf (the court's rule book, “Rules of the Superior Court of California, County of San Luis Obispo, Effective July 1, 2026”, as fetched 2026-10-08; 1342001 bytes, sha256 529d32bded120bc75a274269fb81bc94001fed283619190951cbc84909e80ffe; 144 pages) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow) over the rule body (PDF pages 11 to 130, printed 1 to 120): each page's running header (“San Luis Obispo Superior Court”) and printed page number removed as chrome; lines reflowed into the rules' paragraphs; the one struck word in the book (Rule 11.1902(c), read on the page image) set aside as chrome with the composer's strike_out, so the card reads the rule as amended; the body cut at the chapter headings (“CHAPTER N –”), which reassemble it; proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. The cover, the table of contents, Appendix I (the schedule of fees), Appendix II (the local forms lists) and the index belong to no chapter; Chapters 6, 8, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 29 print only repealed rules and have no card; the book has no Chapter 17.
