Pull request overview
This PR fixes a flaky test (TestNewServerIDConcurrent) that was failing intermittently due to the birthday paradox when generating 10,000 IDs from a ~4.3 billion value range. The fix allows up to 1 duplicate ID occurrence instead of requiring all 10,000 IDs to be unique, reducing the test failure rate from ~1.16% to ~0.0067% (172x improvement).
Changes:
- Modified the test to track and count duplicate IDs instead of immediately failing on first duplicate
- Added tolerance for 1 duplicate ID to account for birthday paradox probability
- Added documentation explaining the birthday paradox and the rationale for allowing duplicates

Fixes #585
This test was introduced in #564 - the fix is still good enough.
