Improve rendezvous hash seed and distribution assertions

Browse source 
- Use seed=42 instead of 0 for better distribution properties while maintaining determinism
- Add documentation explaining the non-zero seed choice
- Add debug output for troubleshooting shard distribution
- Tighten DoD requirement assertions to 18-26 shards (more precise than 14-30)
