Match 2025 deadline confusion

Hi everyone! I'm planning to participate in the next match but I still haven't taken step2 yet, neither did I graduate or submitted my diploma to ecfmg.

I've read on this subreddit that the deadline for taking step2ck in order to be able to participate in the match is 7th august. But what's the deadline for submitting my diploma and getting pathway approved. I'm afraid that if I leave everything for after a receive my step2 score it'll already be too late for pathway approval and getting ecfmg certified before september 29th ( the deadline ).

I may have things mixed up, can anyone help me clear up this confusion.
