Description
Shuffle supplied commands, construct a deliberate search tie and guaranteed empty query, and retain shortcut, group and availability expectations.
An interface fixture makes content and state explicit so a consumer can test a rendering or interaction. Literal labels, modeled states, and calculated geometry remain separate from what a browser or assistive technology actually displays or announces.
Shuffle supplied commands, construct a deliberate search tie and guaranteed empty query, and retain shortcut, group and availability expectations.
When to use this tool
Use this generator to create reproducible command palette fixture cases from the supplied model or bank. Inspect the returned evidence before using cases in a test or exercise.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Supply commands, labelLimit in the field shapes below. Set seed when you need an explicit replay.
- Run the tool and correct any input error. For generated controls, distinguish a successful fixture containing an invalid case from failure to generate the fixture.
- Read commands, searches. Use the conventions below. Keep answer-bearing fields separate when presenting an exercise.
Shuffle commands, append a copy with a distinct tie-prefixed ID, and create two case-insensitive substring searches: the copied label and a guaranteed absent token. Return all matches separately from available matches and label previews.1

| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

| commands[].available | Available | Required. Boolean. |
| commands[].displayLabel | Display Label | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 256. |

| searches[].matchedIds | Matched Ids | Required. Array of Text; maximum UTF-16 length 256.; minimum items 0; maximum items 17. |
| searches[].availableIds | Available Ids | Required. Array of Text; maximum UTF-16 length 256.; minimum items 0; maximum items 17. |
| randomness | Replay source and normalized 32-bit seed, or null seed for an advancing context source. | Required. Object; no unknown keys. |
| randomness.seed | Optional safe-integer replay seed; normalization and precedence are explained below. | Required. Safe integer. or Null. |
| randomness.source | Source | Required. Text; one of "context", "seed". |
An explicit safe-integer seed takes precedence over injected context randomness and is normalized to an unsigned 32-bit integer. With no seed and no context source, replay uses the fixed tool.io default seed. A context source must return finite values from zero inclusive to one exclusive; its advancing state must be retained separately. randomness records the source and normalized seed, or null for context. These generators are not cryptographic random sources.

}Limitations and assumptions
- Input command IDs cannot use the reserved tie prefix. Equal labels deliberately produce multiple results; no fuzzy ranking, command execution, keyboard behavior, or browser interface is implemented.
- A replay requires the same complete input and implementation. The stated sampling convention applies within its eligible space. A finite draw does not exhaust all possible outputs; repeats remain possible unless a distinct-selection rule is explicit.
- The field tables state structural bounds; cross-field constraints and bounded search or output budgets also apply. Unknown keys are rejected where the object contract disallows them. Input errors are distinct from null fields and deliberate invalid controls in a successful output.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For a supplied example, inspect the returned construction or delegated check directly. To evaluate a consumer, also test cases chosen for its own boundaries; a generated finite corpus does not establish exhaustive coverage.
