# Release Template Sample Test Protocol

The corpus contains three public frontends: `PowerBASIC`, bounded `C`, and
`Assembler`. Each has twelve themed folders with 26 samples each.

Test classes:

- `compile`: compile to an object with the shipped `PBXA64.exe`.
- `headless-run`: build and execute a console-only program; compare its success
  token or exit code.
- `manual`: GUI, media, or live-network demonstrations; compile in CI but run
  only with a user-controlled desktop/network environment.

The machine-readable `Sample_Manifest.json` records the intended frontend,
theme, source, and test class. Batch execution writes a separate protocol JSON
and never overwrites the manifest source inventory.
