File Hash MD5

generate_md5_hash.py computes the MD5 hash for a chosen file and writes the hash plus validation instructions to text outputs. It’s a practical integrity receipt for routine file sharing.

Inputs: file path. Outputs: md5_hash_output.txt and hash_validation_instructions.txt. Run: python generate_md5_hash.py -f path/to/file. Known limitations: MD5 is not collision-resistant for adversarial scenarios (use SHA-256 if needed). Safety: deterministic script; no environment mutation or auto-installs.
