Use the runtime league clock and timezone for the next material deadline.

What happens
Sign-in identifies a person; it does not import an old provider account or grant a team seat.
What can be undone
Reading is reversible; each game action states its own boundary.
What you should see
The next action is named with a route and local explanation.
Keep context. Do not replay blindly.
If a page cannot load, keep the current route and use its state-specific recovery.
Start from the active league home or stable help topic; never guess a deadline from a stale screenshot.
One concrete read.
Example: An admitted seatless member can read rules and activity without an invented claim button.
Runtime source: Runtime league configuration, membership, authorization, phase, and source status.
