Why is this not a valid GUID?

Description of the problem

"49C1577D-2CB7-41BB-1CF3-08D960A71AAF" should be a valid GUID imho.

Recipe for reproducing

import { validate } from "uuid";

const isValid1 = validate("49C1577D-2CB7-41BB-1CF3-08D960A71AAF"); // <---- ?!
const isValid2 = validate("93595E16-CE95-4ACD-80F4-66CE17C6D906");
console.log({ isValid1 }); // false
console.log({ isValid2 }); // true

I checked multiple online validators and all said that this Guid is valid. Dunno what's going on.

Invalid variant field.

The "1" in 1CF3 must be 8, 9, A, or B, per https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4122#section-4.1.1

Yes, sry, I was just figuring this out after I created the ticket and wanted to close this issue already. It's strange how not a single validator I tested had a problem with that and I have to check where we got that Id from. 😅

Thanks a lot.
