LaunchRepoDefinition
A launch-date floor is a date before which nothing about a product should be published on a directory. It is set by the owner — “after the pricing page ships”, “not before the funding announcement” — and stored with the product, so every agent session and every platform respects the same date. Blank means no floor.
The floor is a lower bound, not a target. It prevents early publication; it does not make a directory publish on time.
Why it matters for a directory launch
Launch platforms offer the next free slot, and an agent working fast will take it unless told otherwise. Meanwhile free review queues take weeks, so submitting well before the floor is often right — as long as the confirmed dates land after it. The floor separates “start submitting” from “allowed to go live”, which is the decision most launch plans blur.
How LaunchRepo handles it
product.json carries earliest_launch_date; the onboarding asks for it explicitly and explains that free-tier confirmation can take weeks, not days. record.py requires --launch-date to record scheduled and refuses any date earlier than the floor. The dashboard shows the floor next to the scheduled rows. Shipped 15 September 2026 in the repository; the changelog has the details.
