The library is deterministic, but looking for the library isn't. In the same way that generating code is not deterministic, but the generated code normally is.

I...guess? But once you know of a good library for problem X, you don't need to look for it anymore. I guess if you have a bunch of developers and 0 control over what they do, and they're free to drag in additional dependencies willy-nilly, then yes, that part isn't deterministic? But that's a much bigger problem than anything library-related...
