Promotes Wheel from read-only to WORM creation. A caller-supplied root *.dist-info/METADATA and WHEEL are kept as given; RECORD is regenerated from the bytes actually written, with PEP 427 URL-safe SHA-256 hashes and sizes, and its own row left empty as the spec requires. The .dist-info entries are placed last, and the reader-only metadata.ini input is ignored. A tree that carries no packaging metadata gets a minimal deterministic pair synthesized rather than being refused, which is what eight conversion pairs need. The directory takes the escaped distribution name and the metadata the dashed one.
