Description

GenerateFreshName used a global ticker variable but never incremented it inside the loop.
This caused an infinite loop if the first generated name (_0) was already in the used set.

Remove global ticker variable.
Use loop variable i directly to generate candidate names.

Benefits

Fixes infinite loop bug when generated name collides with used set.
Removes unnecessary global state.
Simpler and more predictable behavior.

fix: use loop variable instead of global ticker in GenerateFreshName f31de50abc

The function used a global `ticker` variable but never incremented it
inside the loop, causing an infinite loop if the first generated name
was already in the used set.

This fix removes the global state and uses the loop variable `i`
directly, which is cleaner and avoids the bug.
