1//! Deterministic pseudo-random number generation and sampling primitives.
2//!
3//! This module provides the framework's reproducible PRNG (`SplitMix64`) and the
4//! low-level samplers that distributions build their `Sample` implementations
5//! on. Determinism is a hard requirement: identical seeds must produce
6//! identical streams so that golden-fixture equivalence tests are stable.
