generator.random 
Overview
Generates a deterministic scalar from seed and sample.
Stable hash-based scalar source; no mutable random state. The result is interpolated between Minimum and Maximum.

Usage
In practice
- Use Random when the graph needs Generates a deterministic scalar from seed and sample.
- Stable hash-based scalar source; no mutable random state. The result is interpolated between Minimum and Maximum.
- Use it as a stable control or coordinate source, then connect its value to the node that consumes it.
Notes / limitations
- No hard min/max, step, or animatable flag is declared for Seed, Minimum, or Maximum.
