# DesktopBeast™ EA RC Checksum Verification

Use this to confirm the ZIP you received matches the validated package.

## Current Local Package-Prep Candidate

`DesktopBeast-v1.0-EA-RC2-Rebuilt-20260609.zip`

This is a local rebuilt package candidate prepared after the Settings/About surfacing hardening pass. It is not a public release package unless Stormcrow explicitly approves release.

The SHA256 checksum is written beside the ZIP in the companion file:

`DesktopBeast-v1.0-EA-RC2-Rebuilt-20260609.sha256.txt`

## Windows PowerShell

Open PowerShell in the folder containing the ZIP and run:

```powershell
Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\DesktopBeast-v1.0-EA-RC2-Rebuilt-20260609.zip
```

The hash should match the value in the companion `.sha256.txt` file.

If it does not match, do not run the package. Ask Stormcrow / AI Underground for a fresh copy.
