There was a problem hiding this comment.
super nit: I'm wondering if we should add the random number as a suffix. I remember that back in the day IDs starting with a number were problematic and in theory the prefix here can be an empty string.

If the prefix is an empty string then starting with the counter is going to have the same problem. Maybe we can add a letter to the random number like a1234?
