> Duplicate UUIDs (Googlebot)

> This module may generate duplicate UUIDs when run in clients with deterministic random number generators, such as Googlebot crawlers. This can cause problems for apps that expect client-generated UUIDs to always be unique. Developers should be prepared for this and have a strategy for dealing with possible collisions, such as:

> - Check for duplicate UUIDs, fail gracefully

> - Disable write operations for Googlebot clients
