/**
* @module utils/idNormalization
* @description The 8.0 entity-id normalization layer. Every id that enters
* Brainy is coerced to a valid UUID, because a native engine maps ids to compact
* integers and requires real UUIDs (`encode()` rejects arbitrary strings).
*
* The rules (decided as AR.1 = "normalize"):
* - **No id supplied** a fresh time-ordered {@link v7} UUID (sortable by
* creation time; friendly to the idint mapper and range scans).
* - **A valid UUID** used as-is.
* - **Any other string** (a natural key like `'user-123'`) a STABLE
* {@link v5} UUID derived from it, so the same key always maps to the same id
* and the caller can keep using their natural key on every read/relate while
* the engine only ever sees a UUID. The original string is preserved so reads
* can surface it.
*
* Two entry points: {@link coerceNewEntityId} at creation (add/relate), and
* {@link resolveEntityId} at lookup (get/update/remove/relate endpoints).
