Qianfan cadence: still no confirmed new launch.
As the brief logged it
Mandarin-language sweep (CAST, Xinhua, 36Kr, 中国政府采购网, china-in-space.com) found no new Qianfan/Spacesail launch in the window; constellation remains ~200 satellites against a ~324 near-term target. H1 2027 base case for consumer service holds unchanged. planet4589.org could not be cross-checked directly (proxy-blocked) — treat deployment count as secondary-sourced only this cycle.
