How do you check a futures rulebook's first notice day before a roll?

Before I roll a futures position, I like to read the contract's calendar in the exchange or broker documentation rather than relying on memory. The key dates to note are the first notice day, last trading day, and the settlement method, since they differ between contracts and between how a firm or broker handles them. Another point I find worth checking is how a prop programme or broker treats positions that stay open near expiry, including any forced-close rules and whether they count the roll as a new trade for consistency or drawdown purposes. Those details tend to be buried in the fine print and are easy to miss. Some people also set a personal reminder a few sessions ahead of first notice day, and I am curious how others structure that step in their own process. What does your pre-roll checklist look like?
