Reviewer note: Document sha256: 648519ae6839f0db43ca6de79a328c3062b8a65225a9bfd457543986e914b2a9 (62083 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.
