September 2026 remains the historical baseline. A new research date does not mean a feature launched that day. Unknown after research and not researched are separate states.

Official documentation establishes what the supplier documents. No paid calls, independent product benchmarks or compliance audits were performed in this research pass. Coverage measures research work, never product quality.
