How to
Verify
Quick Steps to Get a SHA Hash
Open Terminal: You can find it in Applications > Utilities, or just search for "Terminal" using Spotlight (Cmd + Space).
Navigate to your file: The fastest way is to type shasum -a 256 (with a space at the end) and then drag and drop your file from the Finder into the Terminal window. The file's path will appear automatically. This avoids needing to type out the full file location.
Run the command: Press Enter.
Get your result: The Terminal will display the SHA-256 hash (a long string of letters and numbers) followed by the file's name.
Compare the output: Match it to the hash listed above. If they match, the document is authentic and unaltered. If they don't match, the file has been changed in transit or is not the canonical version.
The hash is the receipt anyone can run. The test is public. The archive is provenance.

Proves
A SHA-256 hash is a cryptographic fingerprint of a file's exact bytes. Two files produce the same hash if and only if they are byte-identical. Even a single character changed anywhere in the file produces a completely different hash. The hashes above are published as the canonical record of each document at the time of its public release.

What This Doesn't Prove
A hash alone does not prove authorship. It proves the bytes haven't changed. Authorship rests on the document's contents, the copyright recorded on every page, and the broader provenance record — the timestamped corpus history maintained at thehaiframework.com.
