I don't know what you are talking about. As I already explained above we do have tests in place that make sure we are never changing hash calculations without being aware of it.

And yet, it recently changed without any announcement and I spent significant time trying to figure out why database is getting out of sync.

Databases that store hashes for longer than a few hours and use them for lookups are actually badly designed. We are not supporting such use cases.

Great, Wikidata Query service is badly designed and not supported. So, what you propose to do now? Close the service? Or we can try and find some solution to it that allows us to have IDs to the references and values and not deny the problem exists?
