Reviewer note: Document sha256: 9f727cb7c5ddacbd689b0b3c84fc67656301e1b13503198e83aca0cf2ce2c4f3 (115018 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.
