Reviewer note: Document sha256: 14b117dac73f4a18041e9dd21b74f558fa49bc4460ea99b396464aca12877567 (3718149 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.
