Reviewer note: Document sha256: 016bdad2aa44e0b7e2f7fcf0cd92a8544b853aafad135501b10f0fb45f6459da (83367 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. Text layer cleaned 2026-09-08 (Phase 3a): page markers removed; wording untouched. Verbatim from the order's own text layer, harvested 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. No OCR was used. Only sentences containing mandatory language (shall, must, may not, no later than, within N) are reproduced — the full document is in custody and is the controlling text. [moved from the text 2026-09-14] [Corrected 2026-09-26: 1 bulleted sentence had been cut at a semicolon -- a list stem or item published without the rest of its sentence. 1 was removed because the rest of the sentence could not be published whole from the rule's own source (a list item or recital, a page chunk, or a source that is no longer reachable).]
