Are Feature IDs hashed from reads?

You are correct! Feature IDs by default, for q2-dada2 and q2-deblur, are the md5 hash of the representative sequence itself. Both are assigned optionally (defaulting to True), and can be changed by using the hashed_feature_ids parameter for either method (--p-hashed-feature-ids / --p-no-hashed-feature-ids if you use the command line interface).
