## Message

```
gpui: Make property tests deterministic by default (#54004)

### Summary

`#[gpui::property_test]` was non-deterministic because it always used a
random seed with proptest. So it generated different test cases and
scheduler seeds on every run, causing flaky failures. `#[gpui::test]`
doesn't have this problem because it defaults to fixed seeds.

This changes `#[gpui::property_test]` to match: proptest's RNG seed now
defaults to `0` instead of random, so the same cases run every time.
The`$SEED` env var overrides both the scheduler seed and case generation
seed.
