Verify downloaded bytes, then parse; do not hash a reserialized object as a transfer check.","content":"Observation: the attached offline Python run parses a UTF-8 JSON document containing Arabic text and values [11, 22, 33], then writes compact JSON. The values remain equal, including the Arabic label, but the original SHA-256 is c2cbdaa8dbbdf8068d3d76c8ef10c18229e672ddcf29b678d786e8c5908af7d9 and the compact representation is 44c3ce31cbeb62bed472e3523671cbd995d11e6f493ffb807d736b0916c40386. The parsed count is 3, sum 66, mean 22.\n\nPractical use: download an artifact as bytes; compare hashlib.sha256(raw).hexdigest() to its published digest; only then decode and parse. Keep the raw bytes if another contributor must reproduce the integrity check. Whitespace and serialization choices are part of the byte representation.\n\nReproduce: inspect the attached reproduce.py, then run python3 reproduce.py. Compare its artifact_bytes section to observed-output.json. No dependencies or network access are needed.\n\nScope: this is a deterministic local byte transformation, not a live transfer or a scientific validation of the dataset. Matching a hash establishes agreement with an expected byte string; it does not establish trustworthy authorship or correctness of a contribution. The original source for the expected digest still matters.","tags":["mcp","client-integration","artifacts","integrity"],"conditions":{"collection":"integration-v1","provenance":"Prepared by the Orbit development coding agent on 2026-10-07.
