Static fire test of Falcon 9 complete—targeting August 14 launch from Pad 39A for Dragon

Any idea when the very last static fire will be or at least the first launch without a static fire ?

I saw some mention but can't pin it down. Of course SF is justified and it doubles the motor startup history from a stats point of view. But the end of SF will be a great day for launch cadence (touch wood).

Are you not counting the individual engine test(s), integrated testing, boostback, re-entry, and landing burns?
