How the Luhn check works for 4532 1234 5678 9012:

Step 1: Double every second digit from right:
  4  5  3  2  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  0  1  2
  4 10  3  4  1  4  3  8  5 12  7 16  9  0  1  4

Step 2: Sum digits of doubled values > 9:
  10 → 1+0 = 1
  12 → 1+2 = 3
  16 → 1+6 = 7

Step 3: Sum all values:
  4+1+3+4+1+4+3+8+5+3+7+7+9+0+1+4 = 64

Step 4: Check if divisible by 10:
  64 % 10 = 4 ≠ 0 → invalid (this is a demo)

Valid card: sum must end in 0.
The generator ensures all produced numbers pass this check.
