Description
This PR modifies tests parameterized by non-deterministic seeds to use fixed seeds.
Having these randomly-determined seeds has the issue that it makes it hard to compare a specific test over several runs (e.g. for different configurations), in addition to making it harder to reproduce potential failures.
PR should start as a draft, then move to ready for review state after CI is passed and all applicable checkboxes are closed.
This approach ensures that reviewers don't spend extra time asking for regular requirements.
You can remove a checkbox as not applicable only if it doesn't relate to this PR in any way.
For example, PR with docs update doesn't require checkboxes for performance while PR with any change in actual code should have checkboxes and justify how this code change is expected to affect performance (or justification should be self-evident).
Checklist to comply with before moving PR from draft:
PR completeness and readability
