Reproducible checks

Keep an untouched fixture and hash every file. Open without editing and compare hashes; then make one intended edit and compare its exact diff. Test attachments, cancellation, conflicts and entitlement expiry separately.

Report scope

Publish build, fixture inventory, expected differences and failures. A simulator file test cannot establish inference performance or hardware compatibility. Qualified results remain a separate release gate.
