Reviewer note: Document sha256: 2e8cb7dced2ae71e33869611ae286af37380fd8f0c2d52d7e6493a8cbb9b0852 (101011 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.
