Ha, a Miller-Rabin test in the wild! My old Discrete Math 101 professor would be proud of us :)
The diff in the prime.hpp is too large for the GH web UI to open. I inspected the file manually. One thing that caught my eye is that we use 128bit integers to prevent overflow. We have a macro check CUCO_HAS_INT128 that we should use in this case and have a fallback ready.

This PR replaces the precomputed prime table lookup with an on-the-fly calculation. While the new approach is slightly slower, it adds at most ~2 µs of overhead, making the performance impact negligible, and eliminates the need to store a large precomputed prime table.
