UUID v3 Generator

// Browser / Node.js — UUID v3 without dependencies
function uuidV3(namespace, name) {
  // namespace must be a UUID string like '6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8'
  const nsBytes = namespace.replace(/-/g, '').match(/../g).map(h => parseInt(h, 16))
  const nameBytes = [...new TextEncoder().encode(name)]
  const combined = new Uint8Array([...nsBytes, ...nameBytes])

  // md5(combined) — use your preferred MD5 library or the inline implementation
  const hash = md5(combined) // returns Uint8Array(16)
  hash[6] = (hash[6] & 0x0f) | 0x30 // version 3
  hash[8] = (hash[8] & 0x3f) | 0x80 // variant

  const h = [...hash].map(b => b.toString(16).padStart(2, '0')).join('')
  return `${h.slice(0,8)}-${h.slice(8,12)}-${h.slice(12,16)}-${h.slice(16,20)}-${h.slice(20)}`
}

// → '9073926b-929f-31c2-abc9-fad77ae3e8eb' (always the same)
