Function Module

Creates a version-5 UUID following the RFC 4122 specification. This method derives identifiers from a namespace UUID and a name string, ensuring consistent, reproducible results for the same inputs. While UUID v5 can be useful for structured naming and reproducible references, version 4 (random) UUIDs are generally preferred for privacy-critical or security-sensitive systems, as they do not embed source information or potential traceability.
