I missed voting on this but (since I think they will refly essentially the same mission) I feel mid-late Nov is not unreasonable, and if it doesn't happen this year, the program is in some kind of trouble that needs to be sorted. Wondering if they can run outer ring engine chill through the entire descent as a way to mitigate reentry heat damage, but that's a topic for another thread.

Can they be chilled or restarted after launch?
