Reviewer note: Document sha256: 83429de5d40452f937054014a77ab584458b691f74b8d9d15c4fc56bc3f1fa5a (46405 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.

Several division procedure pages still cite the vacated order.
