Executable Example — Explicit Verification Result

Executable Example — Explicit Verification Result

The third step compares the current artifact with the preserved expected identity.

Download the executable example bundle

Run:

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\03-verify-artifact.ps1

For the unchanged demo artifact, the command produces:

Verification status: PASS

and writes:

output\verification-result.json

The result contains both expected and observed SHA-256 values.

Why it matters

A verification workflow should expose its result explicitly. Consumers should not need to infer success from an unrelated log message or UI state.
