Reviewer note: Document sha256: 60c820c4e06da76fc452387af4d3a860d1825efd96e71f6f34ce566527cdb577 (208043 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.
