Reviewer note: Complete-coverage record. Page sha256: 8a9ebeed2bfea2919faeaffc2b240e2caccf30ffbdb3a1b7d677e94bc5d4ae37. Clauses under 60 characters (navigation labels and section headings) were excluded; 628 such fragments were dropped circuit-wide. A separate curated highlight rule may cover one of these clauses with a sharper title — de-duplication is an open curation task, not a data gap.
