Right.  I didn't mention ibud, but that's correct.

But you bring up an important point that's very relevant to our wives (or
whoever is setting up the table particularly for the second seder): that
hachana for a mitzvah is allowed during bein hashmoshes.

(Actually: must it be for a mitzvah?  Irrelevant in this case, but just
curious).
