+## 🚀 Ready to Push
+
+All checks passed! You can now:
+
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Add GitHub Actions workflow with fixed build script"
+git push origin main
+```
+
+Then:
+1. Go to Actions tab on GitHub
+2. Manually trigger "Build Executables" workflow
+3. Wait ~10 minutes for completion
+4. Download artifacts from completed workflow
+
+## 📝 Expected Workflow Steps
+
+**Linux Build (~5-7 min):**
+1. Checkout code
+2. Setup Python 3.12
+3. Install requirements + PyInstaller
+4. Run build_executables.py
+5. Test executables (--help)
+6. Package as tar.gz
+7. Upload artifact
+
+**Windows Build (~6-8 min):**
+1. Checkout code
+2. Setup Python 3.12
+3. Install requirements + PyInstaller + windows-curses
+4. Run build_executables.py
+5. Test executables (--help)
+6. Package as zip
+7. Upload artifact
+
+**Summary:**
+- Report build status
+- Show artifact links
+
+## 🐛 If Build Fails
+
+Check logs for:
+- Missing dependencies
+- Import errors
+- PyInstaller issues
+- Test failures
+
+All known issues have been fixed:
+- ✓ Hardcoded path removed
+- ✓ GIF format instead of MP4
+- ✓ All CLI args validated
+
+## 🎉 Success Criteria
+
+Workflow completes successfully when:
+- ✅ Both jobs (Linux + Windows) succeed
+- ✅ All tests pass (--help commands work)
+- ✅ Artifacts are uploaded
+- ✅ Summary shows green checkmarks
+
+You should see two downloadable artifacts:
+- `tinynav-linux-x86_64` (tar.gz)
+- `tinynav-windows-x86_64` (zip)
