Research direction

Start by locating the documentation and examples that describe calling solve, then check how StableRNGs and a per-call seed are currently used. Document the reproducible-testing procedure and explain why setting a seed for each solve call is currently necessary; the work is done when users can follow the documented steps to reproduce a simulation.
