Launch checkpoints

These are the items participants should look for before joining mainnet. They are not a completed readiness checklist.

• The final result of the current testnet soak and any material limitations.
• An explicit mainnet launch time and network identity.
• The official mainnet binaries, configuration, checksums and setup instructions.
• Clear support and security-reporting channels.

See release evidence and limitations for what is publicly inspectable today.

Follow the release, not a recycled date.
