// ---- DETERMINISM. This suite is a Dockerfile build stage: a red run blocks the deploy, so a test
// that fails one run in five is worse than no gate at all — it trains you to re-run it. Two of the
// drill tests did exactly that (they asserted on a random batch composition and on a snapshot of a
// population that legitimately empties), and the pipeline caught what 60 local runs had not.
//
// The game leans on Math.random() everywhere — jitter, variants, lanes, spawn gaps — so the fix is
// to make the STREAM reproducible rather than to strip randomness out of the game. Fixed seed by
// default, and `SEED=1234 node test.js` re-rolls it: run the suite over a spread of seeds when you
// touch anything probabilistic, and any failure you see is one you can reproduce exactly.
//
// The cost to know about: under one seed a guarded test can silently take its early-out every time
// and quietly stop testing anything. If you add a `return` for an awkward deal, fuzz a few seeds and
// make sure the body actually runs.
