Hashlib

The runtime exposes a deterministic hashlib module with two helpers:

hashlib.sha256(value)
hashlib.sha3(value)

Input Handling

Both helpers accept strings. If the input is valid hex, it is interpreted as bytes; otherwise it is hashed as UTF-8 text.

Output

Both return lowercase hex strings.

Common Uses

• deterministic identifiers
• permit message hashing
• compact lookup keys
