+Each folder contains one of my former standalone PoC repos, preserved with its original README and tracked files. This repo is just a cleaner single-home layout for the same work.

+The check compared each former standalone repo's `HEAD` tree against the matching folder here using Git tree data, not a loose filesystem diff. For every tracked entry, the check required:
 
 - the same relative path;
 - the same Git object type;
 - the same tree mode, including executable bits;
 - the same Git blob ID.
 
-Matching Git blob IDs means the tracked file bytes are identical. The verification covered 12 repositories and 96 tracked entries with zero mismatches.
