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
