Reversing sha256 is like being given a plate of hash browns and trying to reconstruct the bag of potatoes. Even if the cook is perfectly precise every time, the potatoes are in such a mangled state (and some of the potato parts don’t even end up on your plate) that it’s effectively impossible to reverse the steps.
