+
+            ## Verification
+
+            This bundle includes verification scripts to ensure integrity. Choose your platform:
+
+            ### Unix/Linux/macOS (Bash)
+
+            ```bash
+            chmod +x verify.sh
+            ./verify.sh
+            ```
+
+            **Requirements:** `sha256sum` (installed by default on most systems)
+
+            ### Windows (PowerShell)
+
+            ```powershell
+            # May need to adjust execution policy
+            Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process
+            .\verify.ps1
+            ```
+
+            **Requirements:** PowerShell 5.1 or later (included in Windows 10+)
+
+            ### Cross-Platform (Python)
+
+            ```bash
+            python3 verify.py
+            ```
+
+            **Requirements:** Python 3.6 or later
+
+            ### Manual Verification
+
+            You can also manually verify checksums using standard tools:
+
+            ```bash
+            # On Linux/macOS
+            sha256sum -c checksums.sha256
