Summary

Flips the reproducible-build story to the consumer side (issue #225). #216 proves our build is reproducible internally (builds twice, compares hashes); this documents and enables independent third-party verification — so "our builds are reproducible" stops being an unverifiable claim.

  • docs/REPRODUCIBLE-BUILD.md — the exact tooling (SDK 10.0.x, ContinuousIntegrationBuild=true), the rebuild command, how to hash the shipped assembly (the deterministic artifact — not the .nupkg envelope, whose zip entry timestamps are non-deterministic), how to compare against the manifest, how to report a discrepancy, and the third-party attestation conventions (reproducible-builds.org / vouchsafe.io / attest-build-provenance over a rebuild).
  • release.yaml now generates reproducible-build-manifest.json — the expected sha256 of every shipped TFM assembly, extracted from the .nupkg — and attaches it to the GitHub Release.
  • README gains a "Verify the build" section linking the procedure.

Acceptance criteria (#225)

  • docs/REPRODUCIBLE-BUILD.md (tooling, command, expected hashes, discrepancy procedure)
  • release.yaml publishes reproducible-build-manifest.json with expected hashes
  • Documented third-party attestation procedure
  • README links it under a "Verify the build" section

Validation

  • actionlint + shellcheck + zizmor clean on release.yaml.
  • Dry-ran the manifest logic against the live 0.16.1 .nupkg — correctly extracted and hashed all 11 target-framework assemblies. (The manifest step itself only runs on a real release.)

Closes #225

Flips the reproducible-build story to the consumer side: #216 proves our build is
reproducible internally; this documents how a third party verifies it
independently.

- docs/REPRODUCIBLE-BUILD.md — the exact tooling (SDK 10.0.x,
  ContinuousIntegrationBuild=true), the rebuild command, how to hash the shipped
  assembly (the deterministic artifact — NOT the .nupkg envelope, whose zip
  timestamps are non-deterministic), how to compare against the release manifest,
  how to file a discrepancy, and the third-party attestation conventions
  (reproducible-builds.org / vouchsafe.io / attest-build-provenance over a rebuild).
- release.yaml now generates reproducible-build-manifest.json — the expected
  sha256 of every shipped TFM assembly, extracted from the .nupkg — and attaches
  it to the GitHub Release. Verified the extraction/hash logic against the live
  0.16.1 package (all 11 TFM assemblies).
- README gains a "Verify the build" section linking the procedure.

Closes #225

actionlint/shellcheck flagged SC2010 (Don't use ls | grep) in the
Generate reproducible-build manifest step added for #225. Select the
first non-symbols .nupkg with a glob loop + case guard instead, and
fail explicitly if none is found.
