Description

## What is incorrect
The base64 hash prefixes are correct, but missing the "u" character that HoloHashB64 expects.

This is explained in the rust docs page: https://docs.rs/hdi/latest/hdi/hash/index.html#self-identifying-hash-encoding

My suggestion is to include that rust docs page in the "References" section.
