Reviewer note: Complete-coverage record. Page sha256: 54843d52d578fcdc8f5927db996d3a72a78e4a6de45cc7e2af33e239f56d8513. 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.
