+# Phase 2 Features - Implementation Summary
+
+## ✅ Features Implemented
+
+### 1. Right-Click Context Menu for Job Abortion
+
+**Feature:** Users can right-click on "in_progress" jobs to abort them.
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Added context menu that appears on right-click
+- Only shows for jobs with status "in_progress"
+- Clicking "Abort Job" marks the job as aborted (⚫ black icon)
+- Context menu automatically hides when clicking elsewhere
+
+**Files Modified:**
+- `app/templates/dashboard/index.html` - Added context menu HTML and JavaScript
+- `app/static/css/style.css` - Added context menu styling
+
+**Usage:**
+1. Right-click on any job with orange icon (in progress)
+2. Select "Abort Job" from the context menu
+3. Job status changes to aborted (black icon)
+
+---
+
+### 2. Git Branch Validation
+
+**Feature:** Validates that the branch exists on remote before allowing job submission.
+
+**Implementation:**
+- When user enters branch name and clicks "Validate Branch"
+- System executes SSH commands to remote server:
+  1. `./TPF/gitea_repo_controller.sh clone` - Clones/updates repository
+  2. `./TPF/gitea_repo_controller.sh checkout <branch_name>` - Checks out branch
+- Parses output to detect success or failure
+- Shows appropriate message to user
+
+**Success Flow:**
+```
+User enters branch → Clicks "Validate Branch" → 
+Loading indicator → SSH commands execute → 
+Branch found → Green success message → 
+"Next" button appears → User proceeds to scenario selection
+```
+
+**Failure Flow:**
+```
+User enters branch → Clicks "Validate Branch" → 
+Loading indicator → SSH commands execute → 
+Branch not found (fatal: error) → Red error message → 
+"Branch not found on remote. Please push the branch first." → 
+User cannot proceed
+```
+
+**Files Modified:**
+- `app/routes/jobs.py` - Added branch validation logic with SSH commands
+- `app/templates/jobs/submit.html` - Added AJAX validation and UI feedback
+- `app/static/css/style.css` - Added validation message styling
+- `Dockerfile` - Added sshpass package
+- `docker-compose.yml` - Added SSH environment variables
+- `.env.example` - Added SSH configuration template
+
+**Configuration Required:**
+
+Update these environment variables in `docker-compose.yml` or `.env`:
+```env
+SSH_PASSWORD=your_actual_password
+SSH_HOST=asfserver
+SSH_USER=asf
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Technical Details
+
+### SSH Command Execution
+
+The system uses `subprocess` to execute SSH commands:
+
+```python
+# Clone repository
+clone_cmd = f"sshpass -p '{ssh_password}' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no {ssh_user}@{ssh_host} './TPF/gitea_repo_controller.sh clone'"
+
+# Checkout branch
+checkout_cmd = f"sshpass -p '{ssh_password}' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no {ssh_user}@{ssh_host} './TPF/gitea_repo_controller.sh checkout {branch_name}'"
+```
+
+### Error Detection
+
+The system detects branch validation failures by checking for:
+- "fatal:" in stdout or stderr
+- Non-zero return code
+- Timeout (60 seconds)
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+⚠️ **Important:** The SSH password is stored in environment variables. For production:
+1. Use SSH keys instead of passwords
+2. Store credentials in a secure vault (e.g., HashiCorp Vault)
+3. Use encrypted environment variables
+4. Implement proper access controls
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Deployment Steps
+
+### 1. Update Configuration
+
+Edit `docker-compose.yml`:
+```yaml
+environment:
+  SSH_PASSWORD: your_actual_password  # Replace with real password
+  SSH_HOST: asfserver                 # Your SSH host
+  SSH_USER: asf                       # Your SSH user
+```
+
+### 2. Rebuild Container
+
+```bash
+docker-compose down
+docker-compose up -d --build
+```
+
+### 3. Test Branch Validation
+
+1. Go to Submit New Job
+2. Enter a valid branch name
+3. Click "Validate Branch"
+4. Should see green success message
+5. Try invalid branch - should see red error
+
+### 4. Test Job Abortion
+
+1. Create a job (it will be "in progress")
+2. Right-click on the job
+3. Select "Abort Job"
+4. Job icon should turn black (⚫)
+
+---
+
+## 🎨 UI/UX Improvements
+
+### Context Menu
+- Clean, modern design
+- Smooth hover effects
+- Automatically positions near cursor
+- Closes when clicking elsewhere
+
+### Branch Validation
+- Three states: Loading (yellow), Success (green), Error (red)
+- Loading spinner animation
+- Clear error messages
+- Disabled "Next" button until validation succeeds
+- Re-validation required if branch name changes
+
+### Visual Feedback
+- ⚫ Black icon for aborted jobs
+- 🟠 Orange icon for in-progress jobs
+- 🟢 Green icon for passed jobs
+- 🔴 Red icon for failed jobs
+
+---
+
+## 🐛 Known Limitations
+
+1. **SSH Password Security:** Currently stored in plain text environment variables
+2. **No Retry Logic:** If SSH command fails, user must manually retry
+3. **Timeout:** 60-second timeout for SSH commands
+4. **No Progress Bar:** User doesn't see detailed progress during validation
+5. **Single Server:** Only supports one SSH host
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Future Enhancements
+
+### Suggested Improvements:
+1. **SSH Key Authentication:** Replace password with SSH keys
+2. **Retry Logic:** Automatic retry on transient failures
+3. **Progress Indicators:** Show detailed progress during validation
+4. **Multiple Servers:** Support for multiple SSH hosts
+5. **Caching:** Cache branch validation results
+6. **Webhooks:** Real-time notifications when branch is pushed
+7. **Batch Operations:** Abort multiple jobs at once
+8. **Job History:** Show abort history and who aborted
+
+---
+
+## 📞 Support
+
+If you encounter issues:
+
+1. **Branch Validation Fails:**
+   - Check SSH credentials in docker-compose.yml
+   - Verify sshpass is installed: `docker exec testarena_web which sshpass`
+   - Check SSH connectivity: `docker exec testarena_web ssh asf@asfserver`
+   - Review logs: `docker-compose logs web`
+
+2. **Context Menu Not Showing:**
+   - Ensure job status is "in_progress"
+   - Check browser console for JavaScript errors
+   - Clear browser cache
+
+3. **Abort Not Working:**
+   - Check logs: `docker-compose logs web`
+   - Verify job exists in database
+   - Check user permissions
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Testing Checklist

+- [ ] Branch validation with invalid branch
+- [ ] Branch validation timeout handling
+- [ ] Context menu appears on right-click
