Move 1 of 12: U
Insert the final F2L pair and orient the last-layer corners with the last-layer edges already oriented.
Recognize this starting position
For the front-right target slot in this training state, the DFR corner is at UFR and the FR edge is at UR. Corner sticker directions are F→U, D→F, R→R; edge sticker directions are F→U, R→R. Each arrow reads color reference face → current facing direction. Upper corners with the upper-face color facing up: none.

The opening is U R U; the final segment is R U' R'. This version contains 12 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
