# Plan Review: Step 4

Status: Approved

No blocking issues found with the Step 4 verification plan. Running `make build`, `make test`, `make test-race`, and `make lint` matches the task acceptance criteria, and documenting whether the optional `.env-dev` smoke was run is the right handoff before Step 5.

Implementation notes:

- Also run `make fmt-check` or `make check` if practical. The prompt lists build/test/race/lint, but the repo rules require gofmt/goimports cleanliness and CI may fail on formatting even when `make lint` passes.
- Record the exact command results in `STATUS.md` for this step, including any environment/tooling reason if `make lint` cannot run locally. Do not mark Step 4 complete on an uninvestigated failure.
- If the optional live smoke is run, use only the `.env-dev` test athlete, avoid `locked: true`, save the pre-existing value for the chosen date if any, and either restore it or clearly document the intentionally written test value. Do not log API keys or paste secrets into the status file.
- If the smoke is skipped, explicitly mark it as skipped/optional in `STATUS.md`; the automated verification commands are the acceptance-critical part of this step.
