Random Namespaced ID Generation

Large teams often want pre-assigned ID ranges to avoid merge conflicts on literal hashes. A companion tool can create random hashes with a fixed prefix per user or per feature area:

@0x12________ // owned by tools team
@0xa8________ // owned by gameplay team
@0x6a________ // owned by Lisa

This keeps literal references stable while still guaranteeing uniqueness.

Alias Database

To keep random namespace id hashes out of handwritten code, each resource namespace (gfx, audio, ui, …) can ship an alias document, e.g. resources/gfx.aliases:

0x37a6a = cards/ace_of_spades
0x47bc9 = cards/queen_of_hearts

During compilation the alias resolver loads the document, map the short alias back to the canonical path, and then proceeds with normal hashing and validation.
