- **Scope**: cmake/options.cmake, src/cli/cli_main.cc, src/cli/service/api/
- **Endpoints Tested**:
  - ✅ GET /api/v1/health → 200 OK
  - ✅ GET /api/v1/models → 200 OK (empty list expected)
- **CI Testing**: ⏳ PENDING (enable_http_api_tests=false for this run)
- **Documentation**: ✅ Complete (src/cli/service/api/README.md)
- **Owner**: CLAUDE_AIINF

## Test Execution Status

### Unit Tests
- **Status**: ⏳ TESTING (CI Run #485)
- **Expected**: All pass (no unit test changes in this branch)

### Integration Tests
- **Status**: ⏳ TESTING (CI Run #485)
- **Expected**: All pass (platform fixes shouldn't break integration)

### E2E Tests
- **Status**: ⏳ TESTING (CI Run #485)
- **Expected**: All pass (no UI changes)

## GO/NO-GO Decision Criteria

### GREEN LIGHT (GO) Requirements
- ✅ All 3 platforms build successfully in CI
- ✅ All test suites pass on all platforms
- ✅ No new compiler warnings introduced
- ✅ HTTP API validated on at least one platform (already done: macOS)
- ✅ No critical security issues introduced
- ✅ All coordination board blockers resolved

### RED LIGHT (NO-GO) Triggers
- ❌ Any platform build failure
- ❌ Test regression on any platform
- ❌ New critical warnings/errors
- ❌ Security vulnerabilities detected
- ❌ Unresolved blocker from coordination board

## Current Blockers

### ACTIVE BLOCKERS

**BLOCKER #1: Linux FLAGS Symbol Conflicts (CRITICAL)**
- **Status**: ⚠️ UNDER OBSERVATION (waiting for CI run #485 results)
- **First Seen**: CI Run #19528789779
- **Description**: Multiple definition of FLAGS_rom and FLAGS_norom; undefined FLAGS_quiet
- **Impact**: Blocks yaze_emu_test linking on Linux
- **Root Cause**: flags.cc compiled into agent library without ODR isolation
- **Owner**: CLAUDE_LIN_BUILD
- **Resolution Plan**: If persists in run #485, requires agent library linking fix
- **Severity**: CRITICAL - blocks Linux release

**BLOCKER #2: Code Quality - clang-format violations**
- **Status**: ❌ FAILED (CI Run #485)
- **Description**: Formatting violations in test_manager.h, editor_manager.h, menu_orchestrator.cc
- **Impact**: Non-blocking for release (cosmetic), but should be fixed before merge
- **Owner**: TBD
- **Resolution Plan**: Run `cmake --build build --target format` before merge
- **Severity**: LOW - does not block release, can be fixed in follow-up

### RESOLVED BLOCKERS

**✅ Windows std::filesystem compilation** - Fixed in commit 43118254e6
**✅ Linux circular dependency** - Fixed in commit 0812a84a22
**✅ macOS z3ed linker error** - Fixed in commit 9c562df277

## Release Merge Plan

### When GREEN LIGHT Achieved:
1. **Verify CI run #485 passes all jobs**
2. **Run smoke build verification**: `scripts/agents/smoke-build.sh {preset} {target}` on all platforms
3. **Update coordination board** with final status
4. **Create merge commit**: `git checkout develop && git merge feat/http-api-phase2 --no-ff`
5. **Run final test suite**: `scripts/agents/run-tests.sh {preset}`
6. **Merge to master**: `git checkout master && git merge develop --no-ff`
7. **Tag release**: `git tag -a v0.x.x -m "Release v0.x.x - Windows std::filesystem fix + HTTP API Phase 2"`
8. **Push with tags**: `git push origin master develop --tags`
9. **Trigger release workflow**: CI will automatically build release artifacts

### If RED LIGHT (Failure):
1. **Identify failing job** in CI run #485
2. **Assign to specialized agent**:
   - Windows failures → CLAUDE_AIINF (Windows Build Specialist)
   - Linux failures → CLAUDE_AIINF (Linux Build Specialist)
   - macOS failures → CLAUDE_AIINF (macOS Build Specialist)
   - Test failures → CLAUDE_CORE (Test Specialist)
3. **Create emergency fix** on feat/http-api-phase2 branch
4. **Trigger new CI run** and update this checklist
5. **Repeat until GREEN LIGHT**

## Monitoring Protocol

**CLAUDE_RELEASE_COORD will check CI status every 5 minutes and update coordination board with:**
- Platform build progress (queued/in_progress/success/failure)
- Test execution status
- Any new blockers discovered
- ETA to GREEN LIGHT decision

## Next Steps

1. ⏳ Monitor CI run #485 - https://github.com/scawful/yaze/actions/runs/19529565598
2. ⏳ Wait for Windows build job to complete (critical validation)
3. ⏳ Wait for Linux build job to complete
4. ⏳ Wait for macOS build job to complete
5. ⏳ Wait for test jobs to complete on all platforms
6. ⏳ Make GO/NO-GO decision
7. ⏳ Execute merge plan if GREEN LIGHT
