Reviewer note: Document sha256: e8b62856b8b38284872266b265e937b52819546da474eaa6fe7673632a77e9e3 (121228 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.
