Description

Medium (Nice to have)

Is your feature request related to a problem?

When running Anonymizer against documents, we need context preserving and deterministic replacement for detected PII across multiple runs. This is required for various downstream use cases

Describe the solution you'd like

When running Anonymizer against documents, would like the library to replace the detected PII deterministically across runs so:

Run 1:
"Sandy went to New York and there Sandy ate pizza" -> "Alice went to Los Angeles and there Alice ate pizza"

Run 2:
"Sandy went to New York and there Sandy ate pizza" -> "Alice went to Los Angeles and there Alice ate pizza"

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Anonymizer entry point and its entity-replacement flow, then determine how deterministic replacement state should work across runs; done means repeated inputs produce the consistent entity mappings shown in the examples.
