Documents an existing limitation of
@std/uuid/v7. No code changes.generate()fills everything after the 48-bit timestamp with random bits. In RFC 9562 terms it uses none of the optional monotonicity methods from section 6.2, so two UUIDs created in the same millisecond sort in arbitrary order relative to each other. Sortability is the main reason people reach for v7, and neither the module doc nor thegenerate()doc mentioned the caveat. Now both do, with a link to the RFC section.If in-millisecond ordering is ever wanted, a counter (method 1 or 2 of section 6.2) can ship as an additive option without changing the current API. This PR takes no position on whether that is worth doing.
I used Claude Code to help investigate and write this change.
