Generates a short UUID by first creating a standard UUID, then hashing it using SHA-256.
The hash is then converted to a BigInt for base62 encoding. The result is truncated to the
first 8 characters to provide a short identifier.
This approach ensures a unique, yet concise identifier that is easier to handle than a full UUID.
Returns string
