Reviewer note: Document sha256: 9ba13c4eb58bca75dea904304e9dd1563ef2323c2a8d5b0a257fd19206150230 (103543 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.
