Internal function to generate short, reproducible UUIDs for anonymization.
Uses a hash-based approach to ensure referential integrity (same input
always produces same UUID) while maintaining uniqueness across datasets.
Usage
generate_short_uuid(x, prefix = NULL, seed = NULL, length = 8)
Arguments
- x
Character vector of values to anonymize
- prefix
Optional prefix for the UUID (default: NULL)
- seed
Dataset-specific seed for reproducibility
- length
Length of the random part (default: 8)
Value
Character vector of short UUIDs
