      While reviewing test behaviour in test/format, I discovered that the seed used for random generation was accidentally being set to the same value on every run. As a result, the test was producing identical random patterns each time, defeating the purpose of randomised coverage.

      Fix:
      Updated seed generation to ensure variability across runs.
