These hashes were stored and used for state integrity checks and multi-sandbox conflict detection. + **Learning:** Pure string equality checks on hashes (`a === b`) for deterministic validation creates an implicit requirement for saltless, fast algorithms which naturally leads to weak hashing implementations. + **Prevention:** For secure operations, prefer Node.js built-ins (`scryptSync` + `timingSafeEqual`).
