Temporary File Interface - Day 48 - VaultStream

I'm presently designing a 'temporary' file interface. But as everyone knows in programming. There is nothing as permanent as a 'temporary' hack.
But this time I'm promising it's temporary and just learning.But likely it'll become engrained?
But my hope is that it's not.
So the interface is quite simple. I'm basing it on a hash file naming this is something that I've seen in Git, Git annex and similar.
When you create a hash based on file context is super long. The filesystem or how the computer works means that you have a limit on how many files and folders exist per directory.
A quick Kagi search (Kagi is a paid for search engine that is incredible because you're not a product but rather a client. High level of search customization and good quality (skipping all the stupid Medium slop and such)
But I digress, so NTFS has maximum of 4,294,967,295 folders and EXT4 has a 64,000 folders limit according to Stack Overflow.
