Reviewer note: Order PDF sha256: e908894e584e6e24d0d0d3a3d4146ec5e9b5db98dd48dfffbb241c3e7ad02188. Extracted from the order's own text layer. Identity confirmed by the document's /Title. | Set to in_review 2026-07-26: the order's subject looks practitioner-facing but the extracted text captured only recitals or an effective date, not the operative ORDERED section. This is an extraction defect, not a judgement that the order is unimportant — it needs re-extraction before it goes back on the published surface. | Re-extraction 2026-07-26: the operative section was located, but every paragraph in it is OCR of a scanned typescript too corrupt to quote verbatim. No requirement is published from it. The order remains held and sha256-hashed as a source document. | OCR recovery 2026-07-26: the order's embedded text layer was an old, corrupt OCR pass, so the page images were re-rendered at 300 dpi and read again with the Windows OCR engine. Confidence is MEDIUM and the text is labelled as non-verbatim, because fresh OCR of a typewritten carbon copy still misreads characters. Document sha256 e908894e584e6e24d0d0d3a3d4146ec5e9b5db98dd48dfffbb241c3e7ad02188. [RECOMPOSED VERBATIM 2026-08-04 (campaign wave, browser-verified): the order renders only inside the Clerk's application; captured via the court's own app, PDF sha256 e908894e584e6e24d0d0d3a3d4146ec5e9b5db98dd48dfffbb241c3e7ad02188; 1 bullet(s) quoted whole from the document.] Text recomposed 2026-09-08 (Phase 3d, Duval batch 14): read against the official print (Duval Clerk viewer PDF) through the vision lane; wording unchanged.
