Why is my random shuffle always producing the same result when using Suiji?

This is a good explanation, thank you!

My use case for this is for a package, and a user wouldn’t be able to manage handling rng constantly. I’ve tried to deal with this using state but if there are a number of calls to the function then it doesn’t resolve after a while (resulting in repeats).

Do you happen to know if there is some way to update state?

Here is what I tried (I realize the nested expression isn’t necessary, but you get the idea):

#import "@preview/suiji:0.4.0": *

#let rng = state("rng", gen-rng(1))

#let randomize(options) = {
  context {
    let _rng = none
    let _options = none
    (_rng, _options) = shuffle(rng.get(), options)
    rng.update(_rng)
    _options.join(",")
  }
}

#let options = ("A", "B", "C", "D")
  
#randomize(options)

#randomize(options)

#randomize(options)

#randomize(options)

#randomize(options)

#randomize(options)

#randomize(options)
