Regulatory unlock calendar

Legal permission (enabler class E5) is the one constraint with no cost curve to extrapolate, and the only one whose crossing dates are scheduled in public. This calendar maps Federal Register rules, proposed rules and notices onto the categories on the board.

Fetched 2026-10-25 from the Federal Register API. Rules take effect on paper; the slip corpus measures how often those dates move.
