Detailed Description

Tiered documentation freshness: hard suspicion, soft suspicion, integrity failure.

A fingerprint answers one question: has the thing a page describes changed since a
human or agent last compared the page against it? It never claims the page is wrong,
and matching digests never claim the page is right. It routes review.

◆ digest_of()

str audit_freshness.digest_of ( list paths )

Deterministic digest over an ordered list of files.

The path is hashed alongside the bytes so that moving content between watched files is itself a change.

Parameters

[in] paths Repository-relative paths.

Returns: Hex digest prefixed with its algorithm.
