Deadline wall

Windows first. Then the materials.

A stale deadline is worse than no deadline. Last checked 19 August 2026. Confirm the current window on the host site before you apply. The update path is this page until a feed exists.

Prepare starts a release with the program, its window and where to confirm it as a note, so the materials get written against the deadline. Already have a published page? Readiness checks it against the same gate. Thermal does not submit the application.
