# Release readiness · MAX25-Stack-Lite

Offline and manual release gates for MAX25-Stack-Lite, scoped to `max25-terminal` / `max25-client`, localhost `max25d`, CRDOP, and BayCom/based (`max25-bcpr`) only.

## Offline gate matrix

| Gate | Result |
|------|--------|
| `cmake` build + install (`MAX25_BUILD_MAX25_BCPR=ON` default) | Pass target |
| `./scripts/terminology-check.sh` | Required |
| `./scripts/release-check.sh` | Pass target |
| `./scripts/tx-rx-test.sh` (L0 offline, RX before TX) | Pass target |
| `test_bcpr_backend.py` | Pass |
| `test_crdop_backend.py` | Pass |
| `test_paths.py` | Pass |
| `test_proto.py` / `test_auth.py` | Pass |
| `stacks/terminal/test-terminal.sh` | Pass |

## Consistency gate matrix

| Gate | Status |
|------|--------|
| Version in `VERSION` file (currently `1.8.0`) | Required |
| Localhost-only TCP (`tcp_host` loopback; no `0.0.0.0`) | Required |
| Device face BayCom/based = **`max25e0`** (not `bcpr-bc0`) | Required |
| `MAX25_BUILD_MAX25_BCPR=ON` default on Linux/FreeBSD/BSD | Required — see `cmake/MAX25Platform.cmake` |
| No `plugins/` tree, no `stacks/tncs/` — devices set directly in `max25d.ini` | Required |
| HyBBX co-host, web UI, multi-RF orchestration | Out of scope — must stay absent from build/install tree |
| Canonical start | `scripts/run-max25d.sh` (§0.21 root only when SER12/bcpr needs it) |

## Manual hardware gate matrix

| Gate | Status |
|------|--------|
| BayCom/based `max25e0` (max25-bcpr) | active |
| Live RX before TX (§0.20) | Required — see `scripts/tx-rx-test.sh`, `max25-bcpr-rxtx-smoke.sh` |
| CRDOP soft modem bench | Optional |
