Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-09 (California T4 Solano build 2026-10-09) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-solano/docs/general/complete_set_of_local_rules_july_2026.pdf (the court's rule book, “Local Court Rules”, revised July 1, 2026, as fetched 2026-10-09; 7347859 bytes, sha256 f235df4f2c4c47b9c4e290445ffa2be1b5ad4302da615570c85a49e5138357e7; 350 pages) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow) over Rules 1 to 20 (their pages between PDF pages 15 and 323), each rule composed alone from its first page to its last, in segments that start where a part's or an appendix's heading first prints: each page's running header (“Superior Court of California” and “County of Solano”, then the rule's title and the current part or appendix, kept where each first prints) and footer (the page number, the court's website address and “July 2026”) removed as chrome; lines reflowed into the rules' paragraphs; 44 whitespace-only fixes (build/book-fixes.json: thirteen breaks the reflow made before a wrapped “Rule N.N” citation rejoined, two form numbers broken after their hyphen rejoined, and twenty-nine heading, history note, paragraph, list, table row and address breaks it ran together set back; the short-line and vertical-gap audits find no joined break left); the scanned appendices (the standing orders printed in the appendices of Rules 5, 6 and 17, and the weapons order printed again after the forms index) left out and decided as documents - the strike report's 14 struck runs all lie on those scanned pages; proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. The cover, the revision history, the table of contents, the dividers and the indexes belong to no rule.
