Reviewer note: Document sha256: 74f0824b5f4098957ba8614d4ae2b3d324a05e7d024b2f0f61c35caa39ed4cc2 (234593 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.

Several division procedure pages still cite the vacated order.
