Reviewer note: Document sha256: 12c069b4667e59454a974c362d864fcc4d357a94c79f5f0f085f42598392607c (95751 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.
