Hash appendix

A page at the end of an exhibit listing each source file with its hash.

A hash appendix lists every source image used in the exhibit alongside its SHA-256 fingerprint. It sits at the end of the document, after the message pages and the redaction log.

Its purpose is narrow and practical: anyone who receives an original screenshot can hash it and compare the value to the printed one, and see immediately whether the file has changed.
