What

Always emit the PEP-658 / PEP-714 metadata attributes on every wheel anchor, and document the feature in the README and Sphinx docs. Closes #53.

Why

The anchor builder in wheel_file.py used elif self.metadata_hash is not None, which meant any wheel that declared Requires-Python (i.e. virtually every modern wheel) had its data-dist-info-metadata attribute suppressed — even though the .metadata sidecar file was being written to disk. So pip never knew the sidecar existed and downloaded full wheels just to read METADATA.

While fixing that, the project's docs never mentioned that index-503 actually generates PEP-658-compatible metadata (the point of issue #53).

How

  • wheel_file.py: split the if/elif into two independent ifs so both data-requires-python and the metadata attributes can be emitted together. Handle metadata_hash is True (no hash available) by emitting "true". Emit both PEP-714 (data-core-metadata) and the legacy PEP-658 (data-dist-info-metadata) names for compatibility.
  • README.md: add a Features section that calls out PEP 503, PEP 658/714 sidecars, Requires-Python, and the cache.
  • docs/usage.md: replace the placeholder with full CLI usage, install examples, and a Generated metadata section explaining the sidecar.
  • tests/test_index.py: add regression assertions for data-core-metadata and for a wheel with Requires-Python set (bleak) still advertising its metadata sidecar.

Testing

  • Full suite: pytest — 12737 passed locally.
  • Targeted: new assertions in tests/test_index.py exercise the regression on bleak-0.17.0 (which has Requires-Python set) — those assertions would fail without the if/elif → if/if fix.

The anchor builder used `elif self.metadata_hash is not None`, so any
wheel that declared `Requires-Python` (i.e. virtually every modern
wheel) had its `data-dist-info-metadata` attribute suppressed even
though the `.metadata` sidecar was being written to disk. Switch to a
second `if` so both attributes can be emitted together, and add the
PEP-714 alias `data-core-metadata` next to the legacy
`data-dist-info-metadata`. README + docs now mention PEP-658/PEP-714
output as a first-class feature (closes bdraco#53).
