Default Thameslink and LUL changes in King's Cross

I know that the purpose of King's Cross Thameslink after December 9 has
been discussed at length on Usenet before, but it looks like TfL have
finally published some information related to this issue on the KXSP
project pages.

Shortly after the last FCC service departs from KCM at 01:06 LUL will
claim ownership of the station, which thereafter will be open 07:00-20:00,
Mon-Fri. They do not say whether they will man the ticket offices and/or
if they will install any self-service ticket machines there.

Do they really mean closing 'from 02:00 on Saturday 8 December' in their
announcement, or do they really mean 0200 Sunday morning, because the new
station isn't opening til the morning of the 9th is it, with the new
timetable date?

I'm very sure they mean 02:00 on Sunday morning - and yes, platforms A
and B at London St Pancras will not open until around 09:00 (in tandem
with the timetable change) because the core Thameslink route will be
shut down until 08:45 on that same morning.
