This PR optimizes the unique random number generation in random.html.

💡 What

  • Implemented a Map-based Sparse Fisher-Yates algorithm for high-density requests to solve the "Coupon Collector's Problem" bottleneck.
  • Switched to textContent for results rendering to minimize layout thrashing.
  • Added a 10,000,000 range limit to protect browser memory.
  • Improved CSS layout to handle large output sets with a scrollable container and proper word wrapping.

🎯 Why

The original implementation used rejection sampling (Set-based), which performs $O(N^2+)$ in high-density scenarios because of frequent collisions. For a request of 999,999 numbers in a 1,000,000 range, this could take over 8 seconds or hang the browser.

📊 Impact

  • Logic Speedup: Internal calculation for 999,999 numbers in a 1,000,000 range reduced from ~8.1s to ~0.48s (~17x faster).
  • Rendering: Total browser execution time for the same set reduced to ~6.3s (limited by DOM string join and insertion overhead), whereas the original often exceeded the 10s timeout.

🔬 Measurement

Verified using a Playwright-based benchmark script measuring performance.now() inside the browser context before and after the optimization. Visual integrity verified with Playwright screenshots for both small and large output sets.

- Implement hybrid strategy: rejection sampling for low density, Sparse Fisher-Yates for high density (>= 50%).
- Replace innerText with textContent for faster DOM updates.
- Add 10,000,000 range size safety limit.
- Update CSS to handle large result sets (max-height, overflow, word-break).

Performance impact: ~17x speedup for internal logic in high-density cases (e.g., 999,999 numbers in 1,000,000 range).
