Cloud Notes duplicate review mini lab
Created 21 October 2026 for the companion guide. These are synthetic text fixtures, not real receipts.

Five sample files contain exactly the UTF-8 bytes described in EXPECTED-RESULTS.json. They use LF newlines and no byte order mark. Do not resave them before comparing hashes: changing newline or encoding changes bytes.

Expected: current/receipt.txt and downloads/receipt-copy.txt are identical. The archive receipt has a different amount. The two notes have different times. Same names or lengths do not imply the same content.

Optional Windows PowerShell commands, run from the extracted mini lab folder, to READ the receipt files:
Get-FileHash -LiteralPath '.\current\receipt.txt' -Algorithm SHA256
Get-FileHash -LiteralPath '.\downloads\receipt-copy.txt' -Algorithm SHA256
Get-FileHash -LiteralPath '.\archive\receipt.txt' -Algorithm SHA256

These commands read files and display hashes. They do not delete, move or rename them. They can cause online placeholders to download if you substitute cloud paths; use this fully extracted local fixture. Get-FileHash is documented by Microsoft. The fixture hashes were verified with Python hashlib and Node crypto; Windows execution was not tested in this environment.
