 * portion of a `CollectionDefinition`. Two definitions that differ only in
 * cosmetic fields (labels, hooks, admin/search/showStats metadata, helpText,

 * changing a field type, renaming a block variant, altering workflow statuses,
 * or changing a relation target all produce a different fingerprint.

 * Async because `crypto.subtle.digest` is async on every platform. Returned
