Optimized the random number generation logic in random.html to handle high-density requests efficiently by switching to an exclusion-based sampling strategy and Fisher-Yates shuffle. This prevents the performance collapse known as the "Coupon Collector's Problem". Additionally, improved UI responsiveness by adding a scrollable result container with a max-height.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 9208417252154975299 started by @babelman97

💡 What:
Implemented a hybrid sampling strategy in random.html. Switched from pure rejection sampling (Set-based) to an exclusion-based strategy with Fisher-Yates shuffle when the requested count exceeds 50% of the range. Also added CSS scrolling and word-wrapping to the result container.

🎯 Why:
Rejection sampling suffers from the 'Coupon Collector's Problem', where performance collapses exponentially as the set of unique numbers fills up. In a 1M range, picking 999,990 numbers was taking ~1.1 seconds.

📊 Impact:
Measurable ~15x to 23x speedup for high-density requests. Worst-case generation time for 999,990/1,000,000 reduced from ~1100ms to ~50-70ms. UI remains responsive and scrollable even with 100,000+ numbers.

🔬 Measurement:
Verified using a Playwright-based benchmark script measuring performance.now() inside the page context.
- Baseline (DENSE): ~1088ms
- Optimized (DENSE): ~56ms
- Speedup: ~19.5x average.
