I think the closest official explanation we have is from this post. There's also this theory where they say it might mean DeFerred but I think it is less likely. I personally think, it means decision finalized, but like the due dates in the notes, they just don't adhere to them. On the flipside, I too have E-Grant DF in my notes which is weird cuz my prohibitions are still in progress. So, who knows what it means? lol
my LPP also completed by Oct 17th

Has anyone seen new oath from Mississauga office ? I haven’t seen new oath invitations from Mississauga office since three weeks

My timeline

Same boat, haven't heard anything and now its been 3 weeks. I suspect oath ceremonies will be scheduled for Feb/Mar. Hopefully I am wrong and it's much sooner however I can't complain because other people have been waiting much longer.

Me. LPP completed on Nov 2nd.
I ordered my GCMS notes and it says decision finalized, that citizenship has been granted but no oath invite in sight
since you mentioned "decision finalized," what is the file location right now you have in your application / from last GCMS note??
is it location: e/Grant DF?
I don't see any notes / text written on my GCMS notes just all passed (except security hidden) but I see you have a lot of notes from officer exposed

Any help is welcome,,, the road to decipher DF code

Mississauga IRCC

I found something interesting though:
App Status: Open
App Status Reason: TFR-Workload (re)-distribution

And "All Assessments have been passed. One Time Waiver Applied. It appears that applicant has met the requirements for Citizenship."

No clue about what the one time waiver means, or the TFR workload is for.

I’ve always thought DF means Decision Finalized. However, I believe DF means Decision Forwarded; which I think is that the agents checked everything and it looks fine and a decision is positive, and it just needs the “main” or “granting” officer to review and approve “grant” citizenship. That’s when LPP completes and the GCMS notes will show something like citizenship is granted.

TFR stands for transfer
