Summary

Removes LAUNCH.md; it is no longer needed. The readiness gates it tracked are already recorded in ROADMAP.md and MILESTONES.md, and the remaining pre-launch work is tracked in issues (#1778 blog post, #1433 DNS cutover).

  • Deletes LAUNCH.md
  • Rewords the mentions in CONTRIBUTING.md, MILESTONES.md, ROADMAP.md and data/milestones.json so they no longer point at the file
  • Drops the file's entry from HISTORICAL_REFERENCES in tests/markdown-references.test.mjs (the test flags entries for files that no longer exist)
  • Leaves the ADR 0003/0005 mentions, the data/launch-metrics.json checkpoint label and the collector comment in place: they describe a past capture and are historical record

Closed as obsolete alongside this: #1797, #1800, #1801 and #1802 (the milestone 12/13 tracking the strategist asked for).

Validation

  • npm run test:unit: 3515 pass (includes root-docs-links, markdown-references, milestones-data)
  • npm run check:format, check:lint, check:spelling, check:markdown, check:unused: pass

The dateless launch checklist has served its purpose: the readiness gates
it tracked are recorded in ROADMAP.md and MILESTONES.md, and the remaining
pre-launch work (cncf#1778 blog post, cncf#1433 DNS cutover) is tracked in issues.
Remove the file and reword the prose that pointed at it; the ADRs keep
their historical mentions, as do the launch-metrics checkpoint label and
collector comment, which describe a past capture.
