Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating where pget completes and verifies fetched files, then determine how checksum algorithms and expected values should be supplied. Done means fetched files can be validated with MD5, SHA1, SHA3, and SHA256, with mismatches reported clearly.
