# Step 6: MD5 Checksum Generation - DEMO

## Overview
This step implements MD5 checksum generation and verification for HathiTrust package validation.

## Key Components

### ChecksumGenerator Class
Located in `checksum_generator.py`, provides:
- `compute_md5(file_path)` - Calculate MD5 hash for individual files
- `generate_checksums(package_directory)` - Create checksum.md5 for all package files
- `verify_checksums(checksum_file)` - Validate checksums against actual files

### HathiTrust Compliance
- **Format**: `<hash> <filename>` (two spaces between hash and filename)
- **Exclusion**: checksum.md5 does not include itself
- **Sorting**: Files listed in alphabetical order
- **Coverage**: All package files (TIFF, TXT, HTML, meta.yml)

## Usage Example

### Generate Checksums
```python
from checksum_generator import ChecksumGenerator

generator = ChecksumGenerator()
result = generator.generate_checksums('/path/to/package')

print(f"Generated checksums for {result['file_count']} files")
print(f"Checksum file: {result['checksum_file']}")
```

### Verify Checksums
```python
verify_result = generator.verify_checksums('/path/to/package/checksum.md5')

print(f"Valid: {len(verify_result['valid'])}")
print(f"Invalid: {len(verify_result['invalid'])}")
print(f"Missing: {len(verify_result['missing'])}")
```

## Test Results
**14 tests passed** (0.05s)

### Test Coverage
1. ✅ Basic MD5 computation
2. ✅ MD5 consistency (same file → same hash)
3. ✅ Error handling (missing files)
4. ✅ Checksum.md5 file generation
5. ✅ File format compliance (hash filename)
6. ✅ Self-exclusion (checksum.md5 not in itself)
7. ✅ Sorted order verification
8. ✅ Validation of valid checksums
9. ✅ Detection of modified files
10. ✅ Detection of missing files
11. ✅ Empty directory error handling
12. ✅ Nonexistent directory error handling
13. ✅ Convenience function
14. ✅ Binary file (TIFF) checksums


## Sample checksum.md5 File

```
00000001.html a3c1f5e9d4b2c8f7e6d5a4b3c2d1e0f9
00000001.tif b2d3e4f5c6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6e7
00000001.txt c4d5e6f7a8b9c0d1e2f3a4b5c6d7e8f9
00000002.html d5e6f7a8b9c0d1e2f3a4b5c6d7e8f9a0
00000002.tif e6f7a8b9c0d1e2f3a4b5c6d7e8f9a0b1
00000002.txt f7a8b9c0d1e2f3a4b5c6d7e8f9a0b1c2
meta.yml a8b9c0d1e2f3a4b5c6d7e8f9a0b1c2d3
```

## Technical Implementation

### MD5 Computation
- **Chunk size**: 8KB for memory efficiency
- **Encoding**: Works with both binary (TIFF) and text files
- **Output**: Lowercase hexadecimal (32 characters)

### Error Handling
- `FileNotFoundError` - File doesn't exist
- `IOError` - File cannot be read
- `NotADirectoryError` - Invalid package directory
- `ValueError` - No files found in directory

### Verification Features
- Detects modified files (checksum mismatch)
- Identifies missing files (in checksum.md5 but not found)
- Confirms valid files (checksums match)
- Returns detailed results for reporting

## Integration with Pipeline

### Position in Workflow
```
Step 5: YAML Generation → Step 6: Checksum Generation → Step 7: Package Assembly
```

### When to Generate Checksums
- **After** all package files are finalized (TIFF, TXT, HTML, meta.yml)
- **Before** creating ZIP archive
- **Last step** before packaging to ensure file integrity

### Checksum Verification Use Cases
1. **Pre-transfer**: Verify package integrity before upload
2. **Post-transfer**: Validate files after network transfer
3. **Archive validation**: Periodic checks on stored packages
4. **Error recovery**: Identify corrupted files in batch processing

## Next Steps

### Step 7: Package Assembly
Create `package_assembler.py` to:
- Organize all files into flat directory structure
- Copy/move TIFF, TXT, HTML, meta.yml into package directory
- Validate file naming conventions
- Prepare for ZIP creation

### Integration Points
```python
# Step 7 will use checksum_generator like this:
from checksum_generator import generate_package_checksums

# After assembling package files...
checksum_file = generate_package_checksums(package_dir)
print(f"Package ready for ZIP: {checksum_file}")
```

## Dependencies Updated
Added to `requirements.txt`:
```
pytest>=8.0.0 # Testing framework
```

## Files Created
- `checksum_generator.py` - Main implementation (131 lines)
- `test_checksum_generator.py` - Test suite (149 lines)
- `DEMO_step6.md` - Documentation (this file)
