Reviewer note: Document sha256: 109a8b2f75c6fe5fb3334a25e642ccfeca7f027b129077e8e8694e309f189958 (83486 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it. Extraction is conservative: mandatory-language sentences only, so this rule is a faithful subset of the order, never a summary of it.
