Reviewer note: Complete-coverage record. Page sha256: 39e6701d3ca5321350bd8f6defc5c8478f6bab2e5eaf389b1cc2db7f2205c33d. 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.
