+
+## ⏭️ WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: Actual Execution
+
+### Step 1: Open Real Terminals (Your Environment)
+
+**You need 3 actual terminal windows** (PowerShell/Bash/Terminal):
+
+```
+Terminal 1: SSH Tunnel (keeps running 50-90 days)
+Terminal 2: Phase 1 Execution (keeps running 50-90 days)
+Terminal 3: Production Deployment (runs for ~1 hour)
+```
+
+### Step 2: Terminal 1 - SSH Tunnel
+
+**Command:**
+```bash
+ssh -L 5432:127.0.0.1:5432 kjh2064@178.104.200.7
+```
+
+**Action:** Keep this terminal open for entire Phase 1 duration (50-90 days)
+
+**Expected:** SSH connection established, no prompt visible (tunnel running)
+
+### Step 3: Terminal 2 - Phase 1 Execution
+
+**Commands:**
+```powershell
+cd C:\Job_Roomz\KArtSell.Aegis
+.\scripts\EXECUTE_PHASE_1_NOW.ps1
+```
+
+**Action:** Run these commands in your PowerShell terminal NOW
+
+**Expected Output (in sequence):**
+```
+[✅] Environment setup
+[✅] Database migrations
+[✅] Host process started
+[✅] Job 893 QUEUED (HTTP 202)
+[✅] Monitoring ACTIVE
+```
+
+**When you see this:** Phase 1 has successfully started. Let it run. It's now 100% automatic for 50-90 days.
+
+### Step 4: Wait 5 Minutes (Terminal 2 Stability)
+
+After Terminal 2 shows "PHASE 1 EXECUTION INITIATED", wait 5 minutes for Phase 1 to stabilize.
+
+**Verify (optional):**
+```powershell
+Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://127.0.0.1:5002/api/shadow-runs/893" `
+    -Headers @{"X-KArtSell-User"="check";"X-KArtSell-Role"="Admin"}
+# Should show: Status = "RUNNING"
+```
+
+### Step 5: Terminal 3 - Production Deployment
+
+**After 5 minutes, run in Terminal 3:**
+```powershell
+cd C:\Job_Roomz\KArtSell.Aegis
+.\scripts\DEPLOY_PRODUCTION_NOW.ps1
+```
+
+**Expected Output (in sequence):**
+```
+[✅] Code published
+[✅] Health checks: 5/5 PASS
+[✅] Smoke tests: 5/5 PASS
+[✅] PRODUCTION DEPLOYMENT COMPLETE
+```
+
+**When complete:** Production is now LIVE at https://api.kartsell.taxbaik.com
