Block two
Two kinds of thing sit here: questions the published record leaves open, and points where our own reading stopped — at a login we did not cross, or a step we could not observe without applying. Each item says which it is. Both are reasons to ask before you apply rather than after.
Our research did not record an unresolved requirement for this situation. That is not the same as the record being complete — check the source dates before you rely on anything here.
