 # BUILD_PR_LEVEL_12_6_REMOTE_DEPLOYMENT_CANDIDATE
 
-## Purpose
-Implement a minimal single-node remote deployment candidate for the authoritative multiplayer server runtime.
+## Build Scope
+Implement minimal single-node remote deployment for authoritative server.
 
-## Scope
-Primary target files:
-- `samples/phase-13/1316/server/REMOTE_DEPLOYMENT.md`
-- `samples/phase-13/1316/server/docker-compose.remote.yml`
-- `samples/phase-13/1316/server/README.md`
-- `docs/pr/LEVEL_12_6_REMOTE_DEPLOYMENT_CANDIDATE_CHECKLIST.md`
-- `docs/pr/APPLY_PR_LEVEL_12_6_REMOTE_DEPLOYMENT_CANDIDATE.md`
-
-Allowed nearby reads:
-- `samples/phase-13/1316/server/Dockerfile`
-- `samples/phase-13/1316/server/docker-compose.yml`
-- `samples/phase-13/1316/server/networkSampleADashboardServer.mjs`
-- `docs/pr/PLAN_PR_LEVEL_12_6_REMOTE_DEPLOYMENT_CANDIDATE.md`
-
-## Required implementation
-- Define one remote hosting target model for a single node.
-- Define one externally reachable endpoint contract (host/port/protocol).
-- Provide repeatable deployment/run steps for a remote VM/server host.
-- Provide a minimal validation sequence proving:
-  - remote server is reachable
-  - client can connect over internet path
-  - authoritative session lifecycle is valid remotely
-- Keep all deployment guidance minimal and manual-friendly.
-
-## Acceptance criteria
-- Single remote instance can be deployed and started repeatably.
-- External endpoint is reachable from outside host network.
-- Client connection/session is validated over remote endpoint.
-- Steps are documented and reproducible.
+## Deliverables
+- Remote host configuration
+- Public endpoint exposure
+- Deployment steps
+- Remote connectivity validation
 
 ## Validation
-Run only:
-- `node --check samples/phase-13/1316/server/networkSampleADashboardServer.mjs`
-- `docker build -f samples/phase-13/1316/server/Dockerfile samples/phase-13/1316 -t authoritative-server-remote-candidate`
-- `docker compose -f samples/phase-13/1316/server/docker-compose.remote.yml up --build`
-- remote connectivity probe to published endpoint
-- client remote-connect session check using existing multiplayer validation path
-
-## Non-goals
-- no scaling/orchestration
-- no infrastructure automation expansion
-- no gameplay expansion
-- no 3D work
-
-## Working tree rule
-If the tree is already dirty, ignore unrelated files and modify only the scoped files for this PR purpose.
+- Server reachable over internet
+- Client connects remotely
+- Session lifecycle verified

+# Remote Deployment Candidate (Single Node)
+
+## Scope
+- one remote host
+- one Docker service
+- one published endpoint
+- no scaling/orchestration
+
+## Prerequisites
+- Docker + Docker Compose available on remote host
+- inbound TCP access on target port (default `4310`)
+- public hostname or IP for the remote host
+
+## Deploy
+
+1. Copy the `samples/phase-13/1316/` folder to the remote host.
+2. From `samples/phase-13/1316/server`, run:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.remote.yml up --build -d
+```
+
+3. Confirm health:
+
+```bash
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:4310/admin/network-sample-a/health"
+```
+
+## Public Connectivity Check
+
+From an external machine (not the remote host), verify:
+
+```bash
+curl "http://<PUBLIC_HOST_OR_IP>:4310/admin/network-sample-a/health"
+```
+
+Expected response includes:
+- `"status": "ready"`
+- `"code": "NETWORK_SAMPLE_A_DASHBOARD_HEALTHY"`
+
+## Remote Client Session Validation
+
+Use the dashboard endpoint with key:
+
+```text
+http://<PUBLIC_HOST_OR_IP>:4310/admin/network-sample-a/dashboard?key=<ADMIN_KEY>
+```
+
+Verify:
+- page loads remotely
+- metrics endpoint responds remotely
+- session/player rows update over time
+
+## Shutdown
+
+From `samples/phase-13/1316/server`:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.remote.yml down
+```
+
+This candidate remains single-node by design.
