Is cacache checking for hash collisions?

[RustyNova016]

One thing missing from the readme is whether cacache checks for hash collisions, since hashes seems to be the way the contents is indexed internally. While they are rare, that's definitely something to be worried about

So is cacache checking for those or do we have to manually check it ourselves?

cacache defaults to, iirc, sha256. The odds of hash collisions is... negligible. I think testing for it would be overkill, tbh.

If you had 1 billion entries in cacache, your chances of a hash collision with sha256 are 4.3*10^-60

For sha512, which you can opt into, it's even more.

You're more likely to have an asteroid strike earth and kill us all in the next 30 seconds.
