This threat model is very clear and detailed. 🚀 I especially like the simple descriptions of the architecture and how UCP fits into the overall system.

#### Threat: A Malicious Actor Could Exploit SHA-1 Weaknesses to Generate Hash Collisions

**Description:** A malicious actor could exploit the known vulnerabilities of the SHA-1 hashing algorithm to generate hash collisions. The UCP currently uses SHA-1 for hashing resource IDs and generating ETags. Although SHA-1 is not used in security-sensitive contexts, its vulnerabilities could still be exploited to create hash collisions, potentially leading to data integrity issues.

I don't understand why this is a security threat. It's too vague.

Please be more specific. A malicious user could do X to achieve Y. Y should be grounded in one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STRIDE_model
