# `SmolBox.Identity`
[🔗](https://github.com/hfiguera/smolbox/blob/v0.1.3/lib/smolbox/identity.ex#L1)

Opaque machine names for an exclusively managed worker namespace.

Persist the generated name before creation. Names have 100 random bits and do
not embed user identifiers. A namespace match identifies candidates for an
orphan report, never authorization to delete. Creation evidence and exclusive
worker ownership are still required; SmolVM exposes no immutable generation ID.

# `candidate?`

```elixir
@spec candidate?(term(), term()) :: boolean()
```

Select only syntactically valid orphan-report candidates; this does not prove ownership.

# `machine_name`

```elixir
@spec machine_name(term()) :: {:ok, String.t()} | {:error, SmolBox.Error.t()}
```
