"""Vote across provider runs by execution result — the reproducible voting layer.
The archive's headline numbers (85.5%, and the 94.0% built on top of it) came
from voting: run the same questions through several different models, then keep
the answer they agree on. That layer is frozen in `scripts/archive/` because it
scored itself with the unsafe comparator — it called `compare_results` directly,
which blesses a pred that crashed as a match whenever gold also returns no rows.
This is that idea, rebuilt on the safe primitives:
* candidates come from finished eval reports (one per provider, same slice);
* every candidate SQL is re-executed against the live database;
* candidates cluster on `fingerprint_rows` — the execution result, not the SQL
text, so the same answer spelled two ways votes together;
* the largest cluster wins, ties break on report order (the strongest provider
first);
* the winner is scored with `safe_compare_pred`, which cannot bless a crash.
Diversity here comes from using *different models*, not from re-sampling one
model at a higher temperature — that was measured (config F) and it lost.
Usage:
python scripts/ensemble_providers.py \
eval/reports/2026-07-11/E_dense_fewshot_repair-evfirst.json \
eval/reports/2026-07-11/E_dense_fewshot_repair-groq.json \
