Crew has go for CBM un-berth on-time. Reid reported the torque value of one specific bolt but was given clearance to proceed.

From earlier this morning, there are two release windows (1358-1405 and 1414-something.) One was made available by deleting an apogee (I think) reduction maneuver. CAPCOM confirmed that release is trigger pull and not snare release after a question from Reid.
