ts_core: a framework-free TypeScript utility package
`Clock` and a seeded mulberry32 RNG had each been reimplemented across the
game and web repos -- Clock twice (konbini-67, iron-and-anvil, doc comments
near-verbatim), the RNG four times. None of it is UI, so no existing shared
package owned it: `web_ui` ships `tokens.css` and React components, and a
game importing a UI package to get a seeded RNG is exactly the coupling
that makes people vendor their own copy instead.

The RNG deliberately exports **two** interfaces rather than reconciling
them into one. konbini-67 threaded mutable state through free functions;
sims3-clone and europe-county-map returned an object of closures. The
sequence is the contract here -- these repos have seeded tests and "same
seed -> identical world" guarantees, so changing how many times a helper
advances the generator silently re-rolls every saved world. A shared
package that did that would be worse than the duplication it replaces. The
core is shared, so both interfaces yield the same float sequence; that is
asserted, not assumed.

`rng.test.ts` pins the first five floats for seed 12345, captured from the
pre-extraction konbini-67 implementation rather than from this one -- a
golden test generated from the code under test only asserts that the code
matches itself. It earned its place immediately: the first constants I
wrote came from a truncated `toFixed(9)` probe and the test failed, which
is precisely the class of silent precision drift it exists to catch.

`hotline3d` is not a consumer and should not become one. Its generator uses
`%` and `Math.trunc` where mulberry32 uses `>>>`/`>>`; measured, it emits a
different sequence, so adopting this package would change its output.

29 tests, 100% branch/function/line/statement coverage, type-aware eslint,
and a committed dist/ with a CI freshness check -- the same bar web_ui
holds.

/**
* Seeded, deterministic PRNG (mulberry32).
*
* A given seed must always reproduce the exact same world, so consumers ban
* `Math.random` by lint outside this file.
*
* ## Why there are two interfaces
*
* The four repos that had grown their own copy did not agree on shape:
* konbini-67 used mutable state plus free functions (`nextFloat(rng)`),
* while sims3-clone and europe-county-map returned an object of closures
* (`rng.next()` / `rng.float()`). Both are exported here rather than
* reconciled into one, because the *sequence* is the contract: these repos
* have seeded tests and "same seed -> identical world" guarantees, and
* changing how many times a helper advances the generator silently changes
* every generated world. A shared package that quietly re-rolled saved
* worlds would be worse than the duplication it replaced.
*
* The generator core is identical in both, so a given seed produces the same
* float sequence whichever interface you use -- verified in the tests.
*
* Note `int` is inclusive of both bounds, matching sims3-clone and
* europe-county-map. konbini-67's local helper took a single *exclusive*
* max; it maps to `int(rng, 0, max - 1)`.
