# Modernization Tool binary provenance
|
|
|
|
Audit date: 2026-08-31
|
|
|
|
This document is the human-readable companion to
|
|
`Payload/Fallback/versions.json`, which contains machine-readable source,
|
|
version, SHA-256, and size records for many bundled components.
|
|
|
|
No remaining payload binary was modified during this provenance pass.
|
|
|

## SuperWoW change
|
|
|
|
Before this audit the repository contained:
|
|
|
|
- `Payload/SuperWoWhook.dll`
|
|
- SHA-256 recorded in `versions.json`:
|
|
`bd214b32c878649e94ce654835946bd05e0ce7710e8f01bae10d8ab50a89351d`
|
|
- source:
|
|
`balakethelock/SuperWoW` release package
|
|
|
|
That bundled fallback is removed by this audit because the current upstream
|
|
license restricts redistribution without express written permission.
|
|
|
|
The installation feature itself is retained: `remote_packages.install_superwow`
|
|
already downloads the official upstream release and downloads SuperAPI directly
|
|
from its upstream repository.
|
|
|
|
## SuperAPI change
|
|
|
|
The previous bundled fallback under
|
|
`Payload/Interface/Addons/SuperAPI/` is removed together with the SuperWoW
|
|
fallback. The installer continues to obtain SuperAPI directly from
|
|
`balakethelock/SuperAPI` when SuperWoW is installed.
|
|
|
|
## Hash manifest
|
|
|
|
For components that remain bundled, the canonical machine-readable hashes are
|
|
kept in `Payload/Fallback/versions.json`.
|
|
|
|
When updating a binary:
|
|
|
|
1. obtain it from the documented upstream source;
|
|
2. verify the version;
|
|
3. update the SHA-256 and size;
|
|
4. preserve the applicable license/permission;
|
|
5. update this document if the distribution mode changes.
|
|
|
|
## Important boundary
|
|
|
|
A matching hash proves file identity against the recorded source artifact. It
|
|
does not by itself prove that redistribution is licensed. License/permission
|
|
status must be tracked separately.
