-Ready when: graphical-ep phase 2 (Mind) is issued — add its ref to `Gates:` and move to `gated`.
+Started 2026-09-09. Phases 1 and 2 of the campaign shipped on 2026-09-02 (the whole

+`planned → ready → submitted` directly. The RAL PyAutoFit mirror was verified to
+contain #1580 before submitting, so unlike phase 3's EP arm these runs carry the
+stale-mask fixed-point fix.
