But I've had things slip through that for caught later, and it always horrifies me a bit. Even a change that hit when the audiobook edition was being proofed, about as late as you can get a fix in for a novel in indie pub. So I want to avoid that ever happening again.

And if you're still at the phase where you don't have editors you're already working with, just friends giving feedback and you editing and shopping the manuscript to agents or publishers, the timing is less of a worry. In that case, you may want it as polished as you can get it first.

There's some wiggle room here, but because it could lead to major changes in the story, earlier is better. If you wait until the novel is fully polished and you end up rewriting things, those sections will need a new line edit, copy edit, and proofread phase. So before then is good. That said...
