The definitions of the RNG look good. But there is one case that these calls do not cover (and FIPS made me hide it): ML-KEM enc requires a DRNG that generates the shared secret key.

To help with that, I just pushed another patch adding lc_rng_set_seeded to globally replace the seeded RNG with a provided one. I suggest you call that early on with the generate_for_key definition.

After doing that you may revert the changes for keygen. The change for siggen may stay as FIPS204 allows weaker RNGs, since this counters side channels „only“.
