The owner's ruling, 6 October 2026: a phase 4 dated "Apr to Jul 2027" before a phase 5 that is weeks away is a contradiction a
reader spots at once. The roadmap (site/litepaper.html Roadmap, site/journey.json, the home page's inlined journey) now names
no month. Each phase in the shape phase 5 has, the order unchanged:
1 Under way; closes when the specification is out for external review
2 Under way; closes at its gate
3 Live since 3 October 2026; closes at its gate
4 Closes when the finality design passes external review and one rollup signs for the testnet
5 Weeks away: when the go checklist closes
6 After the testnet has passed its gate: 1,000 independent miners for 30 days and rollup proofs on time
The lead reads "Six phases from specification to a fair launch, with four public gates and no calendar dates: each phase
closes at its gate." The devnet's 3 October 2026 start is a fact and stays. Not in the roadmap and left as it is: the public
benchmark's "January 2027" in For miners and Questions miners ask (its own commitment, for the owner's word).
docs/fud-ledger.md: row X32 records the change; rows G4, C2 and X8 gain a status line (the old kept as history) saying the
home page no longer carries their sentence and the litepaper does, after the home-page redesign; X3 got its line in the
previous commit. The ledger page regenerated (178 entries, 0 leaks).
Checks: identity grep 0 hits on every served site file, link check 912 links across 16 pages 0 broken, ledger text 51 of 51,
contrast 32 pairs 0 under 4.5:1, orphan check 0 site headings, api tests 5 pass, no calendar month on the roadmap surfaces.
