The script should perform a file verification for target versions during install and upgrade, similar to how requirements and filesystem permissions are checked.

Users should be able to ignore negative results and the  CLI (if any) should accept optional arguments to skip the verification.

I guess that this would be really useful.

Would definitely be useful. Same with running file verification standalone from the CLI tool.

+1, especially if there's an option to proceed despite changed files.

The checksums file can also ship with MyBB to support offline verification as a fallback.
