Reviewer note: Document sha256: a1744311afebd19884337db7868c44565720ca76265727cea2c1497ea86a0ad9 (239485 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.
