@suaveplan/pseudo-random - Deterministic seeded PRNG implementations (Mulberry32, SFC32, Xoshiro256++, CounterRng) with offset/fork/checkpoint/restore semantics

Summary

Deterministic, seeded pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) conforming to the Rng interface from @suaveplan/types. Ships four algorithms — Mulberry32, SFC32, Xoshiro256++, and CounterRng — with a unified SeededRng surface that includes nextUint32, nextFloat, skip, at, fork, checkpoint, and restore. Use this package when you need reproducible randomness (procedural generation, game simulations, property tests) or seek O(1) access to arbitrary positions in the sequence. For cryptographically secure randomness use @suaveplan/random (CSPRNG-backed) or @suaveplan/crypto (raw bytes). Utility functions shuffle, sample, choice, and weightedChoice accept any Rng and work with both seeded and crypto-backed sources.

Packages

Four algorithms with identical SeededRng surface:

Algorithm	State	Period	Best for
`Mulberry32Rng`	32 bit	~2^32	Tiny, per-UI seeding
`Sfc32Rng`	128bit	≥2^32	High-quality default
`Xoshiro256PlusPlusRng`	256bit	2^256 − 1	Simulations + parallel streams
`CounterRng`	64 bit	—	O(1) seek, procedural tiles

Each implements nextUint32, nextFloat, skip, at, fork, checkpoint, restore, plus Xoshiro256PlusPlusRng.jump() for jumping by 2^128 steps.
