[Patentpractice] Should this applciation be public already?

[Patent Lawyer]

Should a US national phase application, filed after the PCT application was published, be available to the public on PatentCenter the day after it is filed in the US?

Here are the facts:

PCT application was filed in EPO September 2023, published April 2024.  
US national phase filed last week (Friday -- 3 days ago).  The applicaiton is still undergoing preexam processing (of course).
Yet the US application is already publicly available on PatentCenter (if you know the US application number).

Maybe this is right.  Or should the US national phase application be non-public (private) on PatentCenter until the PTO publishes it?
