The last. ("Meta-" is literally "beyond" or "after".)
There was a "final" preread back when we thought 3 and 4 would be a single chapter. Then there was a "final" preread on the individual chapters after the split. Now chapter 4 is in a really, honestly, truly final preread after additional scenes and passages were written in response to prereader suggestions.
To give you some idea how final we really are, I'm assembling my side of the concordance entries right now.
