From the code in the issue

    // TODO: Make this actually random 
    static int _initialSeed() => 0xCAFEBABEDEADBEEF; 
Oops.



That TODO was committed on 2022-02-16 and wasn't fixed until 2024-09-2. That is... a long time for something that critical.


Oops indeed. I like using FIXME for such to make it stand out it's a deficiency that should be fixed asap (usually before merging the change altogether) compared to TODOs that are improvements that can be implemented in a more leisurely fashion.
