## 5. Verification Procedure

Steps to take before enabling Faza 2:

- [ ] **5.1** Read the complete TOS, challenge rules, and FAQ. Date of reading: __________
- [ ] **5.2** Open a support ticket asking explicitly: *"Is Playwright-based browser automation permitted on funded accounts?"* Save the support response.
- [ ] **5.3** Confirm US30 CFD is an allowed instrument on this account type.
- [ ] **5.4** Confirm position size (0.1 lots) is within allowed limits.
- [ ] **5.5** Run the dry-run mode (`atm dryrun`) for at least 5 sessions and verify the simulated click sequence looks correct before going live.
- [ ] **5.6** Enable **jitter**: ensure `atm/dryrun.py` uses 100–400 ms randomised delays between actions (already in Phase 2 spec).
- [ ] **5.7** Start with a **paper / demo account** if available, for at least 3 sessions before live.
- [ ] **5.8** Review `logs/audit.jsonl` after first live auto-execution session for unexpected behaviour.
