to check in and be ready to play, everyone after that must wait. On violations when the whistle is blown those who are
reported in and ready to play are beckoned in eveyone else has to wait. None of this applies to TO or injuries or DQ"s.
If you are consistant with this coaches will adjust but if you are lax they will take advantage. By the way when you beckon in the subs and one of the players has his shirt tail out how many of you send them back to the table to wait for the next opportunity. (example of a player who has reported but is not ready)

How do you get this from 2-3 (R can rule on points not covered) and 116 (
Before putting the ball in play, beckon any sub who has reported and is ready)?
I'd rather not have to rely on the "God" rule, if possible, and your examples seem to indicate subs must be reported before the ball becomes dead or the official has finished reporting the foul -- neither of those is true.
