Use this guide when a saved bundle exists and you want to review its inventory before opening each file manually. The goal is to make the capstone's saved evidence bundles explicitly auditable.

What the bundle manifest owns

Responsibility Owning surface
stable file enumeration for a saved bundle scripts/write_bundle_manifest.py
file sizes for saved review artifacts bundle manifest.json
SHA-256 hashes for saved review artifacts bundle manifest.json

Best companion routes

  • use make walkthrough when you need the first-read bundle
  • use make tour when you need the executed proof bundle
  • use make verify-report, make release-review, make experiment-review, or make recovery-review when the saved evidence question is narrower
