---

Phase C: Deployment & Testing (3-4 hours)

File: PHASE_C_SPECIFICATION.md
Status: ✅ Complete

Deliverables:

• Deploy-To-NT8.ps1 (~300 lines)
• Verify-Deployment.ps1 (~100 lines)
• NT8IntegrationTests.cs (~500 lines, 15+ tests)

What It Does:

• Automates complete deployment process
• Verifies deployment status
