Reviewer note: Verbatim excerpts from the judge's published procedures; 30-day recheck scheduled. | 2026-08-03: the source (rendered DOM (headless Chromium)) no longer contains this rule's quoted text; dropped to medium pending re-composition against the current version. [VERIFY WAVE 2026-08-04: order renders only inside the Duval Clerk's application and returned the loading placeholder on the final capture pass, or is a scanned image with no text layer (OCR class); custody holds the document bytes. The July-verified excerpt stands; confidence held at medium pending patient re-capture or OCR. Named reason, not a silent gap.] [RECOMPOSED VERBATIM 2026-08-04 (campaign wave, division-follow): matched the division code on the court's directory to the sitting judge's own procedure document, sha256 68a420576a5affc88a17b8abf960c198cbe66fc255c8528b072c77e002a17bb6; source_url repaired to the document quoted.]
