The community-consensus snapshot is computed (not persisted) by MarketAnalytics::calculate_community_consensus and consumed by MarketUtils::determine_winning_outcomes. Both previously broke vote ties by walking Soroban Map iteration order, which is not guaranteed to be stable across reads, so identical vote censuses could yield different consensus/winner selections.

Make selection deterministic and reviewable:

  • calculate_community_consensus now breaks ties against the market's canonical, application-ordered outcomes list (first-listed leader wins) instead of relying on Map iteration order, keeping aggregation (sums) order-independent.
  • determine_winning_outcomes collects tied winners by walking the market's canonical outcomes list, keeping the resolved winner set stable and consistent with the consensus tie-break.
  • Document the invariant (no Map-order-dependent tie-breaking) in code.

Preserves all public signatures and existing behavior for clear majorities, no-vote markets, and unanimous votes.

Adds voting_snapshot_stability_tests covering repeated-read stability, canonical-order tie determinism, insertion-order independence, and consistency between consensus and winning-outcome selection.

Also fixes pre-existing test-compile arity errors in require_auth_coverage_tests.rs (set_oracle_val_cfg_{global,event} now take max_deviation_bps) so the test suite compiles and CI passes.

Please pay special attention to:

Close #1400

The community-consensus snapshot is computed (not persisted) by
MarketAnalytics::calculate_community_consensus and consumed by
MarketUtils::determine_winning_outcomes. Both previously broke vote
ties by walking Soroban Map iteration order, which is not guaranteed
to be stable across reads, so identical vote censuses could yield
different consensus/winner selections.

Make selection deterministic and reviewable:
- calculate_community_consensus now breaks ties against the market's
  canonical, application-ordered outcomes list (first-listed leader
  wins) instead of relying on Map iteration order, keeping aggregation
  (sums) order-independent.
- determine_winning_outcomes collects tied winners by walking the
  market's canonical outcomes list, keeping the resolved winner set
  stable and consistent with the consensus tie-break.
- Document the invariant (no Map-order-dependent tie-breaking) in code.

Preserves all public signatures and existing behavior for clear
majorities, no-vote markets, and unanimous votes.

Adds voting_snapshot_stability_tests covering repeated-read stability,
canonical-order tie determinism, insertion-order independence, and
consistency between consensus and winning-outcome selection.

Also fixes pre-existing test-compile arity errors in
require_auth_coverage_tests.rs (set_oracle_val_cfg_{global,event} now
take max_deviation_bps) so the test suite compiles and CI passes.
