getRandomValues not getRandomBytes 👍
bytes are mapped into hex characters as a string.

I approved this because it looked like the CI light was 🟢 , but apparently github actions was having a severe outage last night, and it's now clear no CI steps have run for this last commit. This PR has tests and the renamed functions are clear. hmu for a re-review after ci runs again |

generateConnectionSessionIdhelper function which reuses our existinggenerateRandomStringlogicgenerateConnectionSessionIdin utils/random.test.ts (utils/random.ts was previously untested)generateRandomStringfunction to begenerateRandomBase64Stringadditional context in #27671 (comment)
This PR doesn't change any of our UIs. The new
generateConnectionSessionIdfunction is a piece of frontend plumbing related to DEVEX-663. I originally implemented #27677 so that web terminal connections to workspaces would be identified by uuids--but according to the RFC for DEVEX-663, those connection session ids should be lowercase hexadecimal strings (not uuids).
