Reviewer note: Document sha256: 8eb4ef71b4cbcbfe3050d230fa32f89bbc11b8460c364d1ca3d63cdd2d23c504 (2025250 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.
