Last Trace Protocol™ V7

Root Seal

Approved reference versus what left the line; mathematical equality only.

Stage 1

Approved reference

Composition list or bill of materials. One attribute or part per line.

Root Seal (SHA-256)

Not generated

Stage 2

Actual batch

Lines as recorded for the batch or assembly that left the line.

Batch hash (SHA-256)

Not computed

Normalization

Before hashing, every line is trimmed, converted to uppercase, and empty lines are dropped. Remaining lines are joined with a single newline. The same pipeline is applied to reference and batch so comparison is stable. Hashing uses the browser Web Crypto API (SHA-256). Nothing is sent to a server or written to storage.
