Research direction

Reproduce the failure with strace -o /dev/null -e inject=getrandom:error=EAGAIN shuf -i 1-9 and inspect the reported rand-0.9.2/src/rngs/thread.rs panic path. Trace how shuf initializes randomness when getrandom returns EAGAIN; done means the command no longer panics in this scenario and its behavior is covered by an appropriate test.
