Reviewer note: Document sha256: 29ec86d860ba916b83463b7cde9bb127709db428c2a71294bedd78b94d21a768 (126901 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.
