The third bolt is now officially confirmed; it looked it happened on the display while it was being showed. PAO says that the SSRMS can now ungrapple and the EVA is go to start.

They're doing EMU and other EVA equipment status checks -- recording suit parameters, etc. -- before they start translating over to the truss.
It's not a fast process; we're getting video now.

No worries -- actually, they're not wasting any time -- they've already translated across the spur to S0 and are doing the tether swap...

How's this truss addition going to affect station's attitude? Obviously the CM is shifting quite a lot, so how are they going to compensate it?
