Reviewer note: Document sha256: 35fe3eebd3e4da6d643cc4974bd217cdc6f9047310beb4e10400579c09ad68a4 (3120712 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.
