Reviewer note: Document sha256: 1468db4f360277e6ae9fdcc7d49e10d85ed72f680fe0ace23f48aed259dae425 (203716 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.
