 ## Continuous Integration via Gitea Actions
 
 Continuous integration is automated via [`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`](.gitea/workflows/ci.yml) and triggers automatically on **every push** and pull request:
-1. **Syntax Compilation**: Validates all Python scripts (`src/Server.py`, `src/Win_Client.py`, `src/Linux_Client.py`, `package_dist.py`, `upload_release.py`, `test_pipeline.py`, and test suites).

 You can also compile and package binaries locally anytime:
 ```bash
 # Windows
-py -3.12 package_dist.py --target windows
+py -3.12 compilation/package_dist.py --target windows
 
 # Linux
-python3 package_dist.py --target linux
+python3 compilation/package_dist.py --target linux

 To upload local builds directly to Gitea:
 ```powershell
-python upload_release.py --tag v1.0.1 --token <YOUR_GITEA_TOKEN>
+python compilation/upload_release.py --tag v1.0.1 --token <YOUR_GITEA_TOKEN>
 ```
 *(Environment variables `GITEA_TOKEN`, `GITEA_SERVER_URL`, `GITEA_REPOSITORY`, and `GITEA_REF_NAME` are also supported automatically).*
