Reviewer note: Document sha256: 4fabf2a1a5e415e81016943e86981342cf779accfa5e76a38968b90fc8941265 (281301 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. [' AUDIT 2026-08-26: double-apostrophes adjudicated SOURCE-FAITHFUL - the custody text transcribes the scanned order's own typewriter quote marks / OCR of quote glyphs (the Galveston p6/p7 precedent). KEEP; never blind-fix.] Text layer cleaned 2026-09-08 (Phase 3a): page markers removed; wording untouched. Text recomposed 2026-09-08 (Phase 3b): OCR/extractor artifacts corrected verbatim against the official print; wording unchanged. 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.
