Assumptions and limits

Hashes the exact current text-field value encoded as UTF-8, with no trimming or Unicode normalization. Browsers normalize textarea line endings; this is not a checksum of untouched clipboard or file bytes. Empty text is valid. Maximum 100,000 characters. Requires HTTPS. A digest detects changes but does not establish authorship, scientific correctness, confidentiality or authenticity without a trusted comparison. Hashing is not encryption.
