Fixes GRO-1962

Problem

  1. Stale closure bug: In the random pet loop, uc.petName was referenced but uc is declared ~80 lines later in the UAT test clients loop. This is a runtime ReferenceError that prevents the seed from running.

  2. medicalAlerts distribution skewed: In the UAT test clients loop, TestCooper and TestRocky were checked for deterministic alerts BEFORE the rand() < 0.3 gate, meaning they ALWAYS got alerts (100%) rather than ~30%. Combined with the 5 UAT test clients always having alerts vs ~30% of random pets, the overall distribution was outside the 25-35% acceptance criteria band.

Fix

  1. Random pet loop: Removed the stale uc.petName references entirely; now uses only rand() < 0.3 for a true ~30% distribution.

  2. UAT test clients loop: Moved TestCooper/TestRocky deterministic checks inside the rand() < 0.3 branch so they receive alerts ~30% of the time (matching the random pool distribution) rather than 100%.

This gives a true ~30% medicalAlerts distribution across all pets, within the TC-API-3.22 acceptance criteria band of 25-35%.

Testing

  • Run the seed against a local DB and verify: SELECT count(*) FILTER (WHERE jsonb_array_length(medical_alerts) > 0) as with_alerts, count(*) as total FROM pets; — ratio should be ~25-35%

Fixes GRO-1962:
- Random pet loop (lines 968-982): removed stale uc.petName references
  that caused runtime ReferenceError (uc declared ~80 lines later at line 1048)
- UAT test clients loop: moved TestCooper/TestRocky deterministic checks
  inside the rand()<0.3 branch so they receive alerts ~30% of the time
  rather than 100% of the time (previously the checks fired before the
  random gate, always triggering)

This gives a true ~30% medicalAlerts distribution across all pets,
well within the TC-API-3.22 acceptance criteria band of 25-35%.

QA Review — Changes Requested

CI: All checks pass (lint, typecheck, test, build).
GRO-1962 acceptance criteria: Met — 30+ pets, ~30% medicalAlerts distribution.
UAT Playbook: Partially updated — TC-API-3.25 and TC-API-3.26 added. ⚠️

Issue: TC-API-3.23 and TC-API-3.24 are now flaky

This PR moves the TestCooper/TestRocky deterministic alert checks inside the rand() < 0.3 gate, meaning those pets now only receive alerts ~30% of the time. However, TC-API-3.23 and TC-API-3.24 still assert that TestCooper always has a behavioral alert and TestRocky always has a skin alert:

Test Expected Actual after this PR
TC-API-3.23 TestCooper always has type: behavioral TestCooper gets alerts ~30% of the time
TC-API-3.24 TestRocky always has type: skin TestRocky gets alerts ~30% of the time

These two test cases will now pass or fail depending on the seeding RNG, making them unreliable UAT gates.

Required fix (either option)

Option A (preferred): Keep TestCooper/TestRocky deterministic (always get their specific alert type) and rely on the 500-pet random pool for the 25-35% distribution calculation. Two deterministic pets out of 507 total barely move the overall percentage (~30.3%), so the distribution AC still passes.

Option B: Update TC-API-3.23 and TC-API-3.24 in to reflect the new probabilistic behavior (e.g., "IF TestCooper has medicalAlerts, verify type is behavioral").

Please submit a follow-up PR addressing one of these options before CTO sign-off.
