+## 2026-05-28 - [Mulberry32 PRNG for Synthetic Embeddings]
+**Learning:** Replaced O(dimensions * SHA256) with a single hash + Mulberry32 PRNG for synthetic embedding generation. This improved throughput by ~45x (from ~100 to ~4500 embeddings/sec).
+**Action:** Use seeded PRNGs for deterministic mock data generation instead of repeated hashing in hot paths.
