Section titled “Verify checksum”b3sum fialr-1.0.0-macos-arm64Compare the output against the BLAKE3 hash listed above.
Verify signature
Section titled “Verify signature”Each binary ships with a detached Ed25519 signature (.sig file). Verify with the fialr public key:
minisign -Vm fialr-1.0.0-macos-arm64 -P RWSGmBqXfRPhKPRMN4E+JGuhMGZ6NlEiXPNnA8tY6VDzThe public key is also published at fialr.com/signing-key.

Verify
Section titled “Verify”Confirm the installation:
fialr --versionfialr 1.0.0 (build a1b2c3d4)Self-verification
Section titled “Self-verification”fialr can verify its own binary integrity:
fialr verify --selfThis computes the BLAKE3 hash of the running binary and compares it against the expected hash embedded at build time. A mismatch indicates a corrupt download or modified binary.
Optional: enrichment dependencies
Section titled “Optional: enrichment dependencies”For AI-assisted enrichment (OCR, text extraction, local inference), install Ollama and pull a model:
ollama pull llama3.1:8bEnrichment runs entirely on your machine via Ollama on localhost.
