"""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.
