Description

We should check the integrity of the downloaded spec tests before unpacking the tarball. This would require us to specify the expected checksum when we bump the spec version but this seems like a minor effort.

Research direction

Locate the code and configuration that download and unpack the spec tests tarball, along with where the spec version is bumped. Start there to determine how the expected checksum can be supplied and verified before extraction; done means a mismatched tarball is rejected and the expected checksum is updated with the spec version.
