Dataset release integrity playbook (quarterly)

Goal: confirm a dataset release exists and its checksums verify cleanly.

Canonical reference:

• ../../dataset-release-runbook.md

Procedure (high level)

1. Identify the latest dataset release (GitHub Releases, datasets repo).
2. Download the release assets for the quarter/date you expect.
3. Verify integrity:
4. sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS

What “done” means

• sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS completes without errors for the latest release.
