summary
Timeline and concrete milestones: Polkadot team puts parachains on the Kusama canary network by upgrading validators to 0.9 client and the relay runtime to 9010, then deploying a minimalist shell parachain to test block production and finality, rolling to a Statemine common-good parachain next, then running seven-day retroactive candle auctions (initial five slots) to allocate slots; early bugs trigger a 0.92 client patch — real code, live network, incremental rollout under observation.
