About the Shuffle Lines
The shuffle is a Fisher-Yates pass, which gives every ordering the same probability - unlike sorting by a random key, which does not.
Supplying a seed makes the result reproducible. That is what you want when the shuffle has to be auditable, for example when assigning participants to groups.
