make_id

autogen.beta.network.ids.make_id #

make_id()

Return a fresh UUID-based identifier as a 32-char hex string.

Prefers UUID7 (time-ordered, cross-process sortable) when available; falls back to UUID4 on older Pythons. The in-process hub stamps every envelope under a per-session lock so process-local ordering is already serialised; the time-ordered prefix matters once the transport spans processes.
