## 📋 Manual Steps Required

### 1. Clean Up Backup Files

**Status:** ⏳ Pending User Action

**Action Required:**
```bash
# Review backup files first (dry run)
./scripts/cleanup-env-backup-files.sh

# If satisfied, remove backup files
DRY_RUN=0 ./scripts/cleanup-env-backup-files.sh
```

**Backup Files to Remove:**
- `explorer-monorepo/.env.backup.*` (multiple files)
- `smom-dbis-138/.env.backup`

**Note:** The script will create secure backups before removing files.

---

### 2. Migrate Private Keys to Secure Storage

**Status:** ⏳ Pending User Action

**Action Required:**

Choose one of these options:

#### Option A: Environment Variables (Recommended for Quick Fix)
```bash
# Create secure storage
mkdir -p ~/.secure-secrets
cat > ~/.secure-secrets/private-keys.env << 'EOF'
PRIVATE_KEY=0x5373d11ee2cad4ed82b9208526a8c358839cbfe325919fb250f062a25153d1c8
EOF
chmod 600 ~/.secure-secrets/private-keys.env

# Remove from .env files
sed -i 's/^PRIVATE_KEY=/#PRIVATE_KEY=/' smom-dbis-138/.env
sed -i 's/^PRIVATE_KEY=/#PRIVATE_KEY=/' explorer-monorepo/.env
```

#### Option B: Key Management Service (Recommended for Production)
- Set up HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or Azure Key Vault
- Store private keys in the service
- Update deployment scripts to retrieve from service

**See:** `SECURE_SECRETS_MIGRATION_GUIDE.md` for detailed instructions.

### 3. Migrate to Cloudflare API Token

**Status:** ⏳ Pending User Action

**Action Required:**

1. **Create API Token:**
   - Go to: https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens
   - Create token with DNS and Tunnel permissions
   - Copy the token

2. **Run Migration Script:**
   ```bash
   ./scripts/migrate-cloudflare-api-token.sh
   ```

3. **Test API Token:**
   ```bash
   ./scripts/test-cloudflare-api-token.sh
   ```

4. **Update Scripts:**
   - Update scripts to use `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN`
   - Remove `CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY` after verification

**See:** `SECURE_SECRETS_MIGRATION_GUIDE.md` Phase 4 for detailed instructions.

---

### 4. Fix Omada API Configuration

**Status:** ⏳ Pending User Action

**Action Required:**

1. **Review omada-api/.env:**
   - `OMADA_API_KEY` has placeholder value `<your-api-key>`
   - `OMADA_API_SECRET` is empty

2. **Set Correct Values:**
   ```bash
   # Edit omada-api/.env
   # Replace placeholder with actual API key
   # Set OMADA_API_SECRET if required
   ```

---

## ✅ Automated/Completed
