# Pre-LilyGO Baseline Checklist

Use this checklist before creating a release/tag for the current Cargo ESP 2-channel baseline.

## Goal

Capture a known-good project state before migrating Cargo ESP hardware to a LilyGO T-Relay-S3 board or other expanded-output controller.

## Required Before Tagging

- [ ] Tests pass with `source .venv/bin/activate && python run_tests.py`
- [ ] Working Cargo ESP WebUI confirmed
- [ ] Relay/output control confirmed on current 2-channel board
- [ ] DS18B20 temperature display confirmed in WebUI
- [ ] Cargo ESP API contract documented
- [ ] Controller roles documented
- [ ] Pico dashboard archived
- [ ] Waveshare ESP32-S3 Touch LCD 5B dashboard target documented
- [ ] Load-switching hardware boundaries documented
- [ ] No stale active Pico/UART dashboard references remain
- [ ] Repo is clean: `git status --short`

## Suggested Tag Name

    v0.1.0-cargo-esp32-2ch-baseline

## Suggested Release Title

    Cargo ESP32 2-Channel Relay Board Baseline

## Suggested Release Notes

Baseline working release before future Cargo ESP hardware migration.

This release captures the current Cargo ESP32 controller architecture using the 2-channel relay board.

Includes:

- Cargo ESP WebUI/API architecture
- DS18B20 temperature support
- Relay/output control
- HTTP API contract tests
- Legacy Pico dashboard archived
- ESP32-S3 Waveshare 5B dashboard direction documented
- Controller roles clarified
- Load-switching hardware boundaries documented

Known future work:
