Where is the machine-readable manifest?

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

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.
