Reviewer note: Document sha256: 60935b2261d728ae1820b3decb795498c45d7d64504ff11a7f11387fff044dac. Corpus topic: REMOTE_ZOOM_POLICY. Published during the completeness pass — the audit found 2,753 verbatim requirements against 123 published rules. GOOGLE DOCS VEIN: 102 of the Seventeenth Circuit's 106 division procedure documents are published as Google Docs (docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-...), not as PDFs on the court's own host. Two consecutive fetches of the same Google Doc URL return DIFFERENT bytes — Google injects per-request session config — so the document_sha256 recorded here pins one render, not a stable identity, and content-hash change detection does not work on this vein. Re-verified live 2026-07-24 by text presence instead: six sampled documents still carried 100%, 100%, 100%, 91%, 100% and 100% of their published requirements. Verbatim from the published divisional procedures, captured 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. [moved from the text 2026-09-14]
