/**
 * Creates a new random UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) version 4.

 * to generate a UUID that is suitable for use as a unique identifier.
 *
 * @returns {string} A new UUID v4 string in the format 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'
 * where x is any hexadecimal digit and y is one of 8, 9, A, or B.
 *
 * @example
 * const id = create(); // Returns something like "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000"

 * Parses a UUID from a byte array.
 * This function converts a 16-byte array into a standard UUID string format.
 * It can optionally start parsing from a specific offset in the byte array.
 *
 * @param {Uint8Array} bytes - The byte array containing the UUID. Must be at least 16 bytes long.
 * @param {number} [offset=0] - Optional offset in the byte array to start parsing from.
 *
 * @returns {string} A UUID string in the format 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'
 *
 * @throws {Error} If the byte array is less than 16 bytes long (accounting for offset)
 *
 * @example
 * const bytes = new Uint8Array([
