Blockers Requiring Board Action

1. Legal/Compliance Documents (5 items)

These documents have been completed and security-reviewed. They need board approval before implementation:

ID	Document	Status	Action Needed
FRE-484	ID Verification (Stripe Identity)	Done + Security Approved	Review & Approve
FRE-486	Bank Linking (Plaid Integration)	Done + Security Approved	Review & Approve
FRE-488	Privacy Policy	Done + Security Approved	Review & Approve
FRE-490	KYC/AML Framework	Done + Security Approved	Review & Approve
FRE-491	E-Sign Integration	Done + Security Approved	Review & Approve

Impact: These are prerequisites for production launch. Delay in approval delays launch.

2. FRE-504 Task State Issue

Observability implementation (distributed tracing, Prometheus metrics) is complete
Code committed (40e9d7b)
Task has stale executionRunId preventing status update
Action Needed: Admin intervention to clear task state

Implementation Pipeline (Ready to Execute)

Once legal docs are approved, CTO can proceed with:

FRE-453: Database: Drizzle ORM + Turso (HIGH priority)
FRE-454: Auth: Clerk Integration (HIGH priority)
FRE-455: Backend APIs: Loans/Users/Transfers (HIGH priority)
FRE-452: Design System: UI/UX Specification (HIGH priority)

iOS work (FRE-457) can continue in parallel.
