It's unique.
Anyway we're talking about a package that doesn't matter. It's abandoned. Furthermore it's also broken, because it uses REPL without importing it. You can't even precompile it.
Incorrect, only some UUIDs are random, specifically v4 and v7 (v7 uses time as well).

This would technically be version 2, which would be built from the date-time and MAC address, and DCE security version.
But overall, if you allow any yahoo to pick a UUID, its not really a UUID, its just some random string that looks like one.

Which is to say, not guaranteed at all. GUIDs are designed to be unique, not random/unpredictable
