 It seems like `wp_generate_uuid4()` is prone to creating UUID collisions,
 since it internally uses `mt_rand`, which uses a 32-bit seed. When this
 seed repeats, it will generate the same UUID twice. Maybe it should be
 updated to use `wp_rand` instead which uses `random_int` so it's backed by
 a real CSPRNG?
