Description

It would be nice to be able to recover the transformed data generated with RNGs and even without RNGs. There's no way to do that now.

To be usable, it will need a hook through the services in the stan-dev/stan repo, for which there is an existing issue:

Research direction

Start by reading the linked stan-dev/stan issue #3349, then trace how stanc3 handles transformed data and how services in the stan repository could expose it. The issue is complete when transformed data, including data generated with and without RNGs, can be recovered through an agreed JSON-string hook.
