Look up a California Davis-Stirling Civil Code or Corporations Code section and get its heading, a one-line description of what the section covers, and links to the Haveny articles that explain it. Use this when the user mentions a specific section number (e.g., §5855, §5210) or asks what a section is about. IMPORTANT: This tool returns a haveny.co article URL in its first line. Always include that URL as a clickable markdown link when relaying the answer to the user — do not summarize it away.
