+# Manual CI Instructions
+
+> **GitHub Actions are temporarily disabled** due to billing issues. Please run these manual quality checks before merging code.
+
+## Why CI is Disabled
+
+GitHub Actions are currently disabled because:
+
+- Account billing issues/spending limit reached
+- Self-hosted runner setup in progress (see scripts/azure-runner-setup.sh)
+- Cost optimization measures being implemented
+
+## Manual Quality Check Workflow
+
+### Quick Pre-push Checklist (5 minutes)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Type-check
+pnpm typecheck
+
+# 2. Lint
+pnpm lint
+
+# 3. Format check
+pnpm format:check
+
+# 4. Run tests
+pnpm test
+
+# If any fail, fix and commit before pushing!
+```
+
+### Full Quality Check (15-20 minutes)
+
+Use the production-readiness workflow: `.windsurf/workflows/production-readiness.md`
+
+### Per-Repository Instructions
+
+#### learning_ai_common_plat
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/learning_ai_common_plat
+
+# Build all packages
+pnpm build
+
+# Full check suite
+pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint && pnpm format:check && pnpm test && pnpm audit
+```
+
+#### learning_voice_ai_agent (LysnrAI)
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/learning_voice_ai_agent
+
+# Dashboards
+cd admin-dashboard-web && npm run typecheck && npm run lint && npm test
+cd ../user-dashboard-web && npm run typecheck && npm run lint && npm test
+cd ../tracker-dashboard-web && npm run typecheck && npm run lint && npm test
+
+# Python
+make lint && python -m pytest tests/ backend/tests/
+```
+
+#### learning_multimodal_memory_agents (MindLyst)
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/learning_multimodal_memory_agents/mindlyst-native
+
+# KMP compile
+./gradlew :shared:compileKotlinIosSimulatorArm64
+
+# Web
+cd web && npm run build && npm run lint
+
+# Tests
+./gradlew test
+```
+
+## When to Run Full Checks
+
+- **Before creating a PR**: Always run quick checklist
+- **Before merging to main**: Run full quality check
+- **After major changes**: Run full check for affected repo
+- **Weekly**: Run full check across all repos to catch drift
+
+## Re-enabling CI
+
+CI will be re-enabled when:
+
+1. Billing issues are resolved, OR
+2. Self-hosted runners are fully operational
+
+To re-enable:
+
+```bash
+# In each repo
+mv .github/workflows/ci.yml.disabled .github/workflows/ci.yml
+rm .github/workflows/disabled.yml
+git add .github/workflows/
+git commit -m "ci: re-enable GitHub Actions"
+git push
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Corporate Proxy Issues
+
+If you encounter SSL/certificate errors:
+
+```bash
+# For Gradle (MindLyst)
+export GRADLE_OPTS="-Dtrust_all_cert=true"
+
+# For npm/pnpm
+npm config set strict-ssl false
+```
+
+### Memory Issues
+
+- Close unused applications
+- Run checks sequentially instead of parallel
+- Use `--max-old-space-size=4096` for Node.js if needed
+
+## Automation Options (While CI is Disabled)
+
+### Git Hooks
+
+Install pre-commit hooks to run basic checks:
+
+```bash
+# In each repo
+npm install -g husky
+npx husky install
+npx husky add .husky/pre-commit "pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint"
+```
+
+### Local GitHub Actions Runner
+
+If you have a local machine:
+
+```bash
+# Install GitHub Actions runner
+# Follow: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners
+```
