This block records the SHA-256 of the HTML master that produced this .txt. A
check tool re-hashing master_path can decide freshness without any external
state. If the master's current SHA-256 does not match master_sha256, this file
is stale and must not be published: regenerate first with `python3
scripts/build-paper-companions.py --slug master-table-of-contents`.
