Share Package Evidence Chain

Packaging discipline is a major part of the frontend story now: outsiders need to see what was produced, how it was verified, and what scope it represents. The V26 share package moves toward that standard.

Key points

A package is only useful if reviewers can validate what it contains and what it does not claim.

The current archive is intentionally labeled as reduced-slice, preventing scope ambiguity.

This gives the public site a concrete artifact to point to when describing execution maturity.

Archive size

33 MB

Curated ROM-slice package with verification collateral.

Integrity

SHA256 + unzip check

Archive integrity and checksum state are explicitly documented.

Contents

GDS/LEF/DEF + reports

Includes physical artifacts, manifests, tests, and signoff evidence.

What changed in packaging

The share workflow now emphasizes reproducibility and interpretation safety: manifest files, checksums, and explicit scope labels are bundled with physical outputs.

That is a stronger pattern than distributing raw run directories because it lowers external review friction and reduces claim confusion.

How this supports the research narrative

Public-facing research needs to expose traceability, not just excitement. The package evidence chain ties frontend claims to auditable files.

Package-level metadata describes scope and status.

Checksums and archive tests support integrity verification.

Reports and logs connect collateral to specific execution runs.
