First pixel-by-pixel JWST absorption maps of multiple ice species toward six Class 0 protostars reveal abundance variations from heating and outflows, with total composition matching prestellar formation models covering ~90% of inventory.

Water binding energy on silicate grains is twice that on ice, enabling local retention and inheritance for terrestrial planets without outer Solar System delivery.
The CH₃OH/CH₃CN ratio in the S68N outflow is constant at ~100-200 and matches gas-phase astrochemical models only when cosmic-ray ionization rates are raised to ~10^{-14} s^{-1}.
SKAO, especially SKA-Mid Band 5, is expected to overcome dust opacity and frequency limits to detect complex prebiotic molecules in high-mass and solar-type protostellar regions.
