Full project JSON for youtube-metrics-comments-collector
Canonical byte length: 21,709 - the length of the canonical form the digest covers.
Canonical digest: a331f5367f9707ecdbf27df35c164756245cbd99c2ec534746235fb4e5562454
At launch the backend delivers this configuration to the launcher as plain JSON. The block below is the complete project definition the launcher receives.
What you are reading has machine-readable equivalents, and the JSON at those routes is the same document as the JSON rendered on this page: the listing overview, the per-listing detail document and the configuration document. The digest and byte count shown in the panel header are computed over that document's canonical JSON form - recursively sorted keys, two-space indentation, no trailing newline - which is the form the provisioning pipeline signs and the reconcile control re-digests; it differs from the highlighted block above in key order and by that trailing newline, so hashing the visible text will not reproduce the digest.
