Returns the kernel id, a unique string for each virtual kernel.

def get_kernel_id(ipython_fallback=True) -> str:

    ...

See Understanding solara server for understanding the concept of virtual kernels and their lifetime.

This unique ID can be useful to to implement storing state, scoped to a kernel. See the scope example for an example.

If ipython_fallback is True (default), this function will also work in IPython notebooks, where it will return the IPython kernel id.
