+ * Generate a `sha256sum`-compatible checksums file for release assets.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *   bun scripts/ci-release-checksums.ts <out-file> <asset>...
+ *
+ * Each `<asset>` is hashed and written as a `<sha256>  <basename>` line,
+ * sorted by basename, so the result can be verified after download with
+ * `sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt` (or `shasum -a 256 -c` on macOS).
+ *
+ * Intended for the `release_github` CI job, run after the release binaries
+ * and browser-relay archive are assembled and before the GitHub Release is
+ * created, so the checksums file itself ships as one of the release assets.
