Planetary formation tracks on the HR diagram show three branches: ascending during solid accretion with L proportional to T to the 8th for in-situ planetesimals, near-horizontal during gas accretion, and descending during post-accretion cooling.

Planetary formation tracks on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram: Visualising the processes of giant planet growth
Planetary formation tracks on the HR diagram show three branches: ascending during solid accretion with L proportional to T to the 8th for in-situ planetesimals, near-horizontal during gas accretion, and descending during post-accretion cooling.
