Reviewer note: Document sha256: cf316faa2a0401a9b268056b0d57fd3a32e93e68604f1978d353142ba8b145b1 (227087 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.
