Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-07 (California T4 Santa Cruz build 2026-10-07) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-santa-cruz/docs/local-rules/santa-cruz-superior-court-local-rules-court-july-1-2026-final.pdf (1421611 bytes, sha256 a997ec993bbbd5c2534a1f92b30961a0c2586b4bbd601a165d1ba05a75622910; 175 pages; this division's rules are pages 114 to 116) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow). The running header (Superior Court of California; County of Santa Cruz; Local Rules July 1, 2026) and the page numbers removed as chrome; the cover, the navigation note, the table of contents, Appendix A (the list of rules with their histories), Appendix B (the list of local forms) and the index belong to no card; the strike report found no struck text; lines reflowed into the court's paragraphs, each rule heading and history note on its own line; proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. The book prints its list labels as images: 4 labels set before the lines they label from their placements on the pages (build/labels.py; each placement labelled once, the composer's characters unchanged). Documented layout fixes (read on the page; the proofs hold): two wrapped rule headings joined; two bullet items of Rule 9.1.02 set on their own lines, as printed. Review note: The list labels (“(a)”, “1.” ...) print as images in the rule book, not as text; each is set before the line it labels from its placement on the page (build/labels.py; every placement in the division labelled once). Published as printed: Rule 9.1.02 letters its items (e) to (h) (read on the page, review/render/p114-labels-check.png), and its list under (e) ends with an empty bullet.
