When in doubt see a doctor.

I'm going to vote against any blood vessel or nerve entrapment just judging by the way the pain presents.

Probably not a meniscus injury since the pain stops when you reach maximum flexion. Anything's possible though. Could be some other soft tissue injury of the knee.

Most likely I think is tendonitus. Maybe of the biceps femoris tendon or one of the others from the hams or the calf. I think this is most likely. Doubt it's a ligament thing.

If it is one of these soft tissue things you'll have to take time off of it to give it a chance to resolve and then start back up light. Most likely it will resolve itself. The problem is whether there is an underlying pathology that is leading to it. One likely simple problem is inflexibility or muscle imbalances. Once it does resolve you should begin stretching the lower back, hams, hip flexors after squatting.

All that being said, the knee is very complicated so please don't take anything I or anyone else says as a substitue for medical advice.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
