Checksum Verification

Use checksums to confirm file integrity after download.

shasum -a 256 your_file_name_here
# Compare output with SHA256 values listed above.

Where is the machine-readable manifest?

Use the manifest when you need stable names, SHA256 values, and URLs for automation.

Manifest

Use in code — curl, Python, Node, wget

Copy any snippet directly into scripts, test suites, or CI pipelines. All URLs are stable and publicly accessible with no auth required.

Validation Methodology

Verify listing and extraction behavior across tools.
Check compression ratio assumptions and extraction limits.
Test zip-slip/path traversal protections in upload pipelines.
