REVIEW_APPROVED

I read the diff and grepped the repo for other users of SynthesisResult and candidate_order. I did not rerun the tests, clippy or a workspace build.

• Shuffle: engine.rs shuffles last_round_responses with the run's seeded StdRng just before the judge call. The same random_seed therefore gives the same order. It also runs when randomize_order is false, which matches "reproducibly shuffle final judge inputs".
• Mapping: candidate_order is built from the shuffled slice that is passed to build_judge_user_prompt. Its "Participant N" labels use the same index, so label N always matches the Nth block the judge sees. JudgeCandidate carries the participant id and model id, and the field is #[serde(default)].
• Other code: nothing outside flare-consensus touches SynthesisResult, so adding the field breaks no other crate.

Minor, non-blocking:

• The test checks the mapping and reproducibility but never inspects the judge's actual prompt text, so the link between label and prompt block is not asserted directly.
• Errored participant responses still go to the judge. That behaviour already existed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Responses are presented to the judge in a shuffled order with neutral participant labels, rather than their original order.
  • The order is reproducible when the same seed is used and can vary with different seeds.

📝 Walkthrough

The consensus engine now shuffles final-round responses with its seeded RNG before judge synthesis. The synthesis result records each judge-facing candidate label and its participant and model IDs.

Changes: Judge candidate ordering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Seeded ordering and candidate mapping crates/flare-consensus/src/types.rs, crates/flare-consensus/src/engine.rs	SynthesisResult now stores candidate labels with participant and model IDs, and defaults this field when deserializing data that omits it. The engine shuffles final-round responses before judge synthesis and records the mapping in that order. A test checks reproducibility, identity mapping, and variation across seeds.
