What

Stream the wheel SHA-256 hash in 1 MiB chunks, and run cache-miss wheel processing on a ThreadPoolExecutor.

Why

Two related rough edges in the indexer's hot path:

  • get_sha256_hash slurped the whole wheel into memory. For CUDA/torch-sized wheels (hundreds of MiB) that's a real RSS spike.
  • New wheels were processed one at a time even though WheelFile.from_wheel is mostly I/O (zip read) + hashing — both release the GIL.

How

  • get_sha256_hash now reads in 1 MiB chunks and updates the hasher incrementally.
  • _make_index_at_temp_dir separates cache hits (handled inline, just an os.link) from cache misses, then runs the misses through ThreadPoolExecutor. Each task writes to its own metadata_path, so worker code touches no shared state; the main thread does the cache mutation and hard-linking as results come back.
  • Dropped two locals (new_wheel_file_objects, wheel_file_name_to_metadata_path) that were populated but never read.

Testing

  • pytest tests/ — 14 passed (existing end-to-end tests already exercise 3-4 wheels per run, exercising the parallel path and verifying every hash against fixed expected values).

Stream the wheel hash in 1 MiB chunks instead of loading the whole file
into memory — large wheels (CUDA/torch-sized, hundreds of MiB) no longer
balloon RSS during indexing.

Process cache-miss wheels through a ThreadPoolExecutor: WheelFile.from_wheel
opens the zip and hashes the file, both of which release the GIL, so a
thread pool gives a real speed-up when many new wheels land at once.
Cache hits stay on the main thread (already fast — just an os.link).

Also drops two locals (new_wheel_file_objects, wheel_file_name_to_metadata_path)
that were populated but never read.
