 # Synthetic fixtures
 
 Fixtures in this directory must contain fake credentials only. Never place a real Bitwarden export here.
+
+## Sample pair
+
+`sample-export-a.json` and `sample-export-b.json` are synthetic Bitwarden-style exports for manual testing. They intentionally include:
+
+- An exact login duplicate despite different item IDs, names, folders, favorite flags, casing, and `www.` URL formatting.
+- A likely duplicate with the same username and URL but different password, TOTP, notes, and custom fields; B has the newer revision date.
+- Unique login and credit-card records.
+- A changed secure note that must remain separate for review.
+
+All values are fake and use `.invalid` domains where applicable.
