This example demonstrates how to encode files into an encrypted Locktera container using the Locktera API. The example reads all files from an input folder, constructs a container manifest, and submits the files and manifest to the Locktera encode endpoint for encryption.

During this process, the files are encrypted and packaged into a .tera container, which becomes an immutable, cryptographically protected object. The container can then be securely stored, transferred, or distributed while maintaining persistent access control.

This example illustrates how to construct a manifest, prepare file content, and create an encrypted container programmatically using the Locktera API.
