-`.json` files above, sorted by filename, with no separator between the parts:
+`corpus.sha256` has exactly one reader: the private billing service keeps a copy
+of this directory, and its `test/billing.test.ts` recomputes this digest to prove
+the copy is still byte-identical. Nothing in this repository verifies it. The
+recipe below is therefore a transcription of that test rather than an
+independent definition of the digest — where the two disagree, the test is
+right and this section is wrong.

+It is `sha256(name₁ ‖ NUL ‖ bytes₁ ‖ NUL ‖ name₂ ‖ NUL ‖ bytes₂ ‖ …)` over every
+file here except `corpus.sha256` itself, sorted by filename, with a NUL between
+every part and none at the end. This README is in the digest like any other
+file, which is what lets the two copies hold the same value when they match:
 
 ```sh
