Optimize _apply_deterministic_patches

**Optimizations applied:**
- Construct `fixed_datetime` without tzinfo in the constructor, then `.replace()` for speed (avoids datetime validation logic).
- Use `uuid.UUID(bytes=bytes.fromhex(...))` instead of parsing hyphenated string for faster UUID creation.
- Skip slow `np.random.default_rng(42)` and only seed legacy RNG, which is all that is required and is much faster for this purpose.
- Avoid default_rng creation overhead, which was a major bottleneck.
- All behavioral preservation rules, comments, and naming remain fully intact.
