Maybe it would be simpler to call the file SHA256SUM (or SHA256) instead of
CHECKSUM? As far as I remember, these files used to be called MD5SUM, then
SHA1SUM, which made it very clear what was inside. But with so many
different checksum standards, calling the file CHECKSUM is bound to lead to
confusion.
