Description
file_checksum is generating different checksums for the same file.
The file can be any file that exist on disk, uploaded as part of a bundle, or re-downloaded as part of a bundle. Cross checking the same file with sha256 would give consistent hashes, while file_checksum does not.

Research direction
Read rsconnect/bundle.py lines 379-389, where file_checksum is identified, and compare its result for the same file on disk, in an uploaded bundle, and after re-download. Use sha256 as the consistency reference; done means the checksum is identical for all three file states.
