April 2025: Delivered a robust UID generation mechanism for mesh cells in arcaneframework/framework, replacing the previous hash-based approach with a deterministic calculation that uses the current UID, the number of cells added, and the maximum existing cell IDs. Added checks and renumbering utilities to ensure non-negative IDs and consistency across node and cell identifiers. This reduces collision risk, improves traceability, and stabilizes mesh pipelines for downstream simulations.
