Reviewer note: Order PDF sha256: 88cf377b89637d5de1ece8d3c871c4d7ffc9aff948dd02d916a00a7f05a8c78a. Extracted from the order's own text layer. | 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-extracted 2026-07-26 from the numbered paragraphs following the order's ORDERED clause, replacing a first pass that had captured recitals and the effective date. Text layer cleaned 2026-09-08 (Phase 3e): running page headers/footers removed; wording untouched.
