Where is the machine-readable manifest?

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

Validation Methodology
  • Validate extension and MIME detection before processing.
  • Benchmark performance with small and larger files.
  • Test malformed-input handling and error messaging.
