    Incomplete datetime patching

    The code stores mock datetime functions in builtins but never overrides
    datetime.datetime.now or utcnow, so any code calling those methods
    directly remains non-deterministic.

    # For datetime, we need to use a different approach since we can't patch class methods
    # Store original methods for potential later use
    import builtins
    
    builtins._original_datetime_now = _original_datetime_now  # noqa: SLF001
    builtins._original_datetime_utcnow = _original_datetime_utcnow  # noqa: SLF001
    builtins._mock_datetime_now = mock_datetime_now  # noqa: SLF001
    builtins._mock_datetime_utcnow = mock_datetime_utcnow  # noqa: SLF001
    Performance overhead in mocks

    Each mock function invokes the original implementation to “maintain
    performance characteristics,” adding unnecessary overhead and risking
    flakiness in performance tests.

    def mock_time_time() -> float:
        """Return fixed timestamp while preserving performance characteristics."""
        _original_time()  # Maintain performance characteristics
        return fixed_timestamp
    
    def mock_perf_counter() -> float:
        """Return incrementing counter for relative timing."""
        nonlocal _perf_counter_calls
        _original_perf_counter()  # Maintain performance characteristics
        _perf_counter_calls += 1
        return _perf_counter_start + (_perf_counter_calls * 0.001)  # Increment by 1ms each call
    Global patch scope

    Patches are applied unconditionally at module import and never reverted,
    which can leak side effects into unrelated tests. Consider scoping
    patches within fixtures or providing a teardown mechanism.

    Respect timezone conversion

    Convert the fixed datetime to the requested timezone using astimezone rather than
    replace, ensuring correct timezone-aware behavior.

    codeflash/verification/pytest_plugin.py [115-120]

     def mock_datetime_now(tz: datetime.timezone | None = None) -> datetime.datetime:
         """Return fixed datetime while preserving performance characteristics."""
    -    _original_datetime_now(tz)  # Maintain performance characteristics
    +    _original_datetime_now(tz)
         if tz is None:
             return fixed_datetime
    -    return fixed_datetime.replace(tzinfo=tz)
    +    return fixed_datetime.astimezone(tz)
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

    __

    Why: It ensures correct timezone-aware behavior by converting the fixed datetime with astimezone instead of simply replacing the tzinfo.

     (`patch-randomness`)
    
    Here is the optimized version of your program, rewritten for much faster runtime, based on optimizing the parts most costly in your profiling (import overhead, fixed object creation, unnecessary calls to originals in mocks, and making sure patching is only done once).
    
    
    
    **Major optimizations:**
    - **Moved imports and all constant/time-invariant objects outside the function** (`fixed_datetime`, etc), preventing repeated slow computations on repeated executions.
    - **Patched only once:** Added a sentinel attribute (`_is_patched`) on the `time` module to avoid re-patching on repeated calls, reducing imports and setup.
    - **Skipped all "call original" for mocks:** There’s no need to call the original functions just for "performance characteristics".
    - **Used function attributes instead of closure state for `mock_perf_counter`** (faster and leaner).
    - **Avoided repeatedly creating the default_rng object in NumPy**, instead storing it on `np` for re-use.
    - **No functional change**: All mocks now instantly return deterministic values.
    
    **Net effect:**  
    The patch takes almost no time for subsequent calls, saves massive time on repeated calls, and is much lighter on memory, especially for fixed objects.  
    All original test reproducibility and function signatures are preserved.
