Three members relate to the package manager's doctor/identity checks: a bug report of a KeyError on 'sha256' for a Termux bionic artifact without that field, and two fix PRs about excluding external pins from local doctor checks and treating digestless lock artifacts as unpinned. The titles suggest a shared theme, but the exact relationship between the fixes and the bug is not confirmed.
