Reviewer note: Document sha256: df50723ecbdbd049241a5247406cde9ffbde325cfc03b00f009da69b32a0338d (100095 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.
