Research direction
Start with the code and result screenshots attached to the issue, then investigate how repeated UMAP calls can produce different outputs when parameters and data are unchanged. Done means determining whether the differing results are expected or reproducible as a defect, and documenting the cause or the required way to obtain consistent results.
