Checksum manifests and release files

Small public releases are easier to trust when every file has a visible purpose and a matching checksum.

For reference workflow packages, I prefer three files: release notes, a tiny sample manifest, and a checksum list. That is enough to show structure without pretending to distribute production model weights or clinical datasets.

The checksum file also creates a simple habit: every public artifact should be reproducible, named clearly, and small enough to inspect without a special transfer process.

Release pattern

• Use dated release notes for human-readable context.
• Keep sample manifests synthetic and clearly marked as examples.
• Separate public reference files from private validation packages.
• Update checksum manifests as part of the same release change.
