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. Text layer cleaned 2026-09-08 (Phase 3g): 6 kerning-split words rejoined; wording untouched. 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.
