Research direction
Look at the startup script (e.g., start.sh or similar) that handles FORCE GENERIC PACK UPDATE. The issue requests that when this environment variable is set, the generic pack checksum file should not be generated. Examine the current logic that creates the checksum and add a condition to skip it when FORCE GENERIC PACK UPDATE is set. Also check if there are any related tests or documentation that need updating.
