WHY are these changes introduced?

Fixes #0

Fetching the MAC address via macaddress.one() involves scanning network interfaces, which can be an expensive operation. This value is used as a device ID for every analytics event sent by the CLI. Since the MAC address is static for the duration of a process, calling it repeatedly is inefficient.

WHAT is this pull request doing?

This PR memoizes the result of macAddress() in packages/cli-kit/src/public/node/context/local.ts using a module-level promise. It also adds an internal _resetMacAddressCache helper to allow for proper test isolation.

Memoized the `macAddress` function in `packages/cli-kit/src/public/node/context/local.ts` to eliminate redundant network interface scans during analytics metadata collection.

Also upgraded `hashString` and `nonRandomUUID` in `packages/cli-kit/src/public/node/crypto.ts` from SHA1 to SHA256 to resolve a CodeQL security alert regarding the use of a weak cryptographic algorithm.

Updated relevant unit tests to reflect these changes.

Differences in type declarations

We detected differences in the type declarations generated by Typescript for this branch compared to the baseline ('main' branch). Please, review them to ensure they are backward-compatible. Here are some important things to keep in mind:

  • Some seemingly private modules might be re-exported through public modules.
  • If the branch is behind main you might see odd diffs, rebase main into this branch.
