+"""
+Functions and CLI interface for identifying differences in fixture content based on SHA256 hashes.
+
+Features include generating SHA256 hash maps for fixture files, excluding the '_info' key for
+consistency, and calculating a cumulative hash across all files for quick detection of any changes.
+
+The CLI interface allows users to detect changes locally during development.
+
+Example CLI Usage:
+    ```
+    python diff_fixtures.py --input ./fixtures --develop
+    # or via CLI entry point after package installation
+    dfx --input ./fixtures
+    ```
+
+CI/CD utilizes the functions to create a json fixture hash map file for the main branch during the
+fixture artifact build process, and within the PR branch that a user is developing on. These are
+then compared within the PR workflow during each commit to flag any changes in the fixture files.
