Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-12 (California T4 Sierra build 2026-10-12) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-sierra/docs/local-rules/local_rules_eff_070126.pdf (the court's rule book, its cover “Sierra County SUPERIOR COURT RULES EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2026”, as fetched 2026-10-12; 257827 bytes, sha256 cf58ea4bb32ca799df761b7dc00440c118c92141672efc26488c9c223ff8fa8a; 44 pages; this rule PDF page 14, printed page 10) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow): the rules (PDF pages 5 to 37, printed pages 1 to 33) composed as one text and cut at the rule headings - “RULE 1. GENERAL RULES” to “RULE 10. MISCELLANEOUS”, each matched once at a line start (a rule may begin mid-page; Rule 9 prints “RULE 9. RESERVED” and nothing else, and has no card); Appendix “A”, the Appellate Division Local Rules (PDF pages 38 to 41, printed 34 to 37), composed apart with the same settings; the running header of every page (“Sierra County Superior Court”, named) and the page number at its foot (“1” on PDF page 5, named and a whole line in its band - every printed number is the PDF page less 4) removed as chrome - 66 chrome lines in the rules, 8 in the appendix; lines reflowed into the rules' paragraphs, each rule's heading, each section's number and title (“1.1 NAME, CITATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE”), each lettered subdivision and numbered paragraph and each history line (“(Eff. 01/01/09; amended eff. 01/01/23.)”) starting a line; the strike report (review/strike-report-2026-10-12.txt) finds no struck run on the book's 44 pages; 2 whitespace-only fixes (build/book-fixes.json: Rule 7.7's heading, which the page wraps after “THE INTERESTS”, and Rule 7.11's history line, which it wraps after “subd.”, each rejoined as one line); the vertical-gap, short-line, page-break, bold, false-break, fragment and row audits (custody file book_extra_audits.py; review/book-gap-audit-2026-10-12.txt, review/book-short-lines-2026-10-12.txt and review/book-extra-audits-2026-10-12.txt) list candidates read one by one (build/book_fixes.py) - the rest kept as printed (the blank line inside Rule 6.2.1(A)'s sentence, Rule 2.8(a)(1)'s bullets, the headings and lists the false-break audit names); the book's own text kept as printed (“RULE 6. FAMILYLAW”, Rule 6.2's unclosed parenthesis, Rule 5.5's history line naming Rule 5.4, Rule 7.7(c)(4)'s “guardian ad !item”, Rule 8.1's “07.01.2026”); proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. The cover (PDF page 1), the table of contents (2 to 4) and the Topic Index (42 to 44) belong to no card.
