This PR enhances the security and robustness of the LoremIpsumGenerator component.

Security Enhancements:

  • Cryptographic Randomness: Replaced Math.random() with window.crypto.getRandomValues() to ensure high-entropy, unpredictable placeholder text generation.
  • Uniform Distribution: Implemented a getSecureRandom helper with rejection sampling to eliminate modulo bias, ensuring all words and lengths are selected with equal probability.
  • DoS Mitigation: Added explicit state-level validation for the count input. This prevents local Denial of Service (browser hangs) that could be triggered by bypassing HTML max attributes and providing extremely large values.

Other Improvements:

  • Performance: Optimized generateSentence to avoid redundant .join(' ') calls.
  • Stability: Wrapped generation helpers in useCallback to prevent unnecessary re-renders.
  • Verification: Verified with pnpm build (TSC + Vite) and visual inspection via Playwright.
