"""
Build a test data set from a schema and a seed.

Rung N0. Standard library only, no file written: the function returns a list of
rows that a test can hand straight to the code under test.

Determinism is the whole point. The same seed and the same schema give exactly
the same rows, on every machine, in both languages, for ever. That is what
makes a failing test replayable and a regression reproducible: the seed printed
next to a failure is enough to rebuild the data that caused it.

Which is why the generator is written out here instead of being taken from the
platform. The standard generators of Python and JavaScript produce different
sequences from the same seed, so a data set built with them cannot be handed
from one language to the other, nor compared between a back end and a front end.

Each cell is drawn from a hash of (seed, field, row) rather than from a running
stream. Adding a field to the schema therefore leaves every other column
untouched, instead of shifting the whole set by one draw.

Sample a test data set from the distributions observed in production.

What this buys over N0. A schema says a quantity is between one and nine; it
does not say that most orders are for one item and almost none for nine. Data
drawn uniformly inside the bounds gives every rare case the same weight as the

What is sampled here is the marginal distribution of each column, one column at

numeric column. Nothing is fitted and nothing is learnt — the observed table is
the model. Which also means the joint distribution is lost, and the tests next
