Reviewer note: Document sha256: 5b0e64f08be34a2cd526356aed484b59f7f8060d9bd91ceed299637cd7888dc8 (109634 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.
