Follow-up cadence

Rule Value
Last check-in (us) 2026-07-12
Last VA response 2026-07-13 — review moving; they'll reach out if needed
Next check-in Not before mid-August 2026
Rationale They said they're good; chasing a reviewer who just confirmed progress spends credibility

Degraded-mode fallback (if production access denied or delayed)

  • Veteran-uploaded imaging and DD-214. No Lighthouse dependency.
  • VA-independent; buildable now.
  • Same path for veterans abroad who cannot clear ID.me.
  • Cross-reference: Gate 1 VA-independent slice — veteran-upload path (veteran_uploads; see docs/api/CONSENT_AND_DOCUMENT_CATEGORIES.md) and sandbox-only / explicit pilot decision in docs/planning/GATE_1_THRESHOLD.md.
  • Does not block Gate 0.5 exit or Gate 1 sandbox OS build — blocks production pilot with real VA Lighthouse data only.
