What stands between RC-1 today and a full Gateway-backed integration pass, in order. These are planned engineering steps, not commitments of date or certification.
Stand up Docker, Postgres, Redis, schema, and API keys so the blocked live E2E can run. Roadmap
Exercise the end-to-end flow against the integration environment, clearing the one blocked item. Roadmap
Confirm authorize and capture through the processor sandbox end to end. Partial
Confirm the card-present terminal path through the gateway. Roadmap
Measure latency and throughput in the integration environment. Roadmap
Triage and resolve the moderate development-toolchain advisory. Partial
Cut the RC-1 tag once the full integration pass is green. Roadmap
These steps gate the move from controlled integration review to a tagged RC-1. They are planned work, not a schedule, certification, or production claim.
