Reviewer note: Document sha256: 4da6f3f4129be798df4295d5a89ed5086864e9a496cfdf8dc74188f10055194e (123405 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.
