This list is the complete, accessible view of the tracker; the board above draws from exactly the same records. Every entry is labelled Confirmed (official record), Company target (a dated sponsor statement), Regulator target (an official decision date, not a guarantee), GLPInfo estimate (an editorial range with assumptions) or Timing unknown. An approval is never inferred from a target date passing.
