 #     ZERO_AR_DATE  exported as 1 unless set: object times in the kexts' debug maps are zeroed, so two builds in the
 #                   same checkout produce the same kext bytes

+# The collection's bytes are not reproducible even from identical kexts: its prelink info records each kext's
+# _PrelinkBundlePath in build-auxkc-user.py's temporary staging folder, whose name is random. Against a deployed
+# collection, expect differences only there and in what the kexts' UUIDs determine (each kext's LC_UUID and
+# OSBundleUUID, the collection's UUID and _PrelinkKCID, the receipt's per-kext digests); compare the kexts with
+# REFERENCE for the substance.
