Since the [20250708](https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone/releases/tag/20250708) release, the [python-build-standalone](https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone) project does not provide checksum files for individual artifacts, but rather a single `SHA256SUMS` manifest file containing checksums for all artifacts. However, since June 3, the GitHub API [directly provides checksums for release artifacts](https://github.blog/changelog/2025-06-03-releases-now-expose-digests-for-release-assets/). Because we always fetch the latest release and it's been over a month since the last cached index file, we can just save the checksums in out cached index of Python versions.
