Draft
Blocking dependency flagged: DELTA-19 cannot receive security audit sign-off until DEV-402 (API auth hardening) is closed. DEV-402 has no current sprint assignment and no ETA.

Compliance deadline is April 30 — 3 days away.

Two options:
1. Expedite DEV-402 this week (requires Engineering commitment today)
2. Request a formal deadline extension from the compliance team (must be submitted today)

Owner of DEV-402 is James Liu. Decision needed by EOD to preserve either path.
