1//! Deterministic RNG (SplitMix64), no external dependencies.
2//!
3//! Reproducibility is a design goal of the whole engine family: the same seed
4//! must yield the same result, on any platform, with or without parallelism.
5//! This is the exact generator already used by `anvil-core` and
6//! `rainflow-core`, lifted here so every optimizer in the ecosystem shares one
7//! certified source of randomness.
8//!
9//! For parallel runs (island models, ensemble restarts) derive an independent
10//! stream per worker with [`Rng::split`]; distinct stream ids give
11//! statistically independent, fully reproducible sub-sequences. (Formally the
12//! derived states live on the same SplitMix64 orbit, so overlap is not
13//! impossible — merely astronomically unlikely, ~`streams²·draws/2⁶⁴`.)
14
15/// Derives a deterministic stream seed from a base `seed` and a stream `id`.
16///
17/// Mixes the id into the seed through the SplitMix64 finalizer so that even
18/// adjacent ids (0, 1, 2, …) produce well-separated seeds. Used to give each
19/// island/ensemble worker an independent, reproducible sub-stream.
