Rolling Random Romans
summary
Builds a dashboard in Elm that actually generates valid Roman names for Juno’s blessing process, using a Dict-backed model, a Name union type (male with praenomen/cognomen/optional agnomen, female with clan and optional differentiator), and a single complex generator instead of many commands. Uses Elm Random.generate and andThen/map3 to chain dependent rolls, pulls helpers from random-extra, fixes a double-cognomen bug, and demos working randomized names; pseudorandom only, not cryptographically secure.
