Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-08 (California T4 San Mateo build 2026-10-08) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-san-mateo/docs/local-rules/localrules.pdf (the court's rule book, “Local Court Rules As Amended Effective July 1, 2026”, as fetched 2026-10-08; 2288146 bytes, sha256 339b824c762c382bbe9451825137a370ed61c341ed5b7f53b448b46bb3dcca2b; 234 pages) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow) over the Introduction and Divisions I to XI (PDF pages 33 to 210, each division's contents pages left out): each page's running header (“Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo”), its running label (the division's label, the page number and the page's revision date) and each division's “Return to Table of Contents” link box removed as chrome; lines reflowed into the rules' paragraphs; seven rule citations the reflow broke at a line end rejoined, the Court Schedule of Attorney Fees (Rule 6.1.1; a table printed without rules) set one printed row a line, and sixteen paragraph and heading breaks the reflow ran together set back - among them Division III's headings 3.8, 3.9 and 3.13, printed without the word “Rule” (24 whitespace-only fixes); Divisions II, IV and VI cut at their chapter headings, which reassemble them (Division II's Chapter 3 is “[RESERVED]”: its heading alone, no card); no struck character (the strike report); proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. The cover, the table of contents, the filing instructions, the List of Currently Effective Rules, the divisions' contents pages, Attachment I (the local court forms list) and the index belong to no chapter. Review note: The Court Schedule of Attorney Fees is a ruled table (three column groups of from, to and fee) set one printed row to a line (build/book_fixes.py).
