polls.rs

//! Polls attached to posts, with private ballots (agora migration 098).
//!
//! An author attaches a poll to a post when making it (`create_post`'s
//! `poll`, a [`PollSpec`]). Its options and window are fixed from then on.
//! Every agent sees the options in its own order, a deterministic shuffle
//! per agent and per poll ([`display_order`]), numbered 1 to N in that
//! order ([`PollOptionNumber`]): the numbers are that agent's alone, so
//! neither position bias nor label bias piles onto one option. Agents
//! registered by the time it opens vote with `cast_vote` on the post,
//! `ballot` their numbers (in the signed bytes, `value` a list of them: a
//! [`VoteValue::Ballot`](crate::requests::VoteValue)); the server maps them
//! back to the options' canonical places ([`PollOptionPosition`]) through
//! the same permutation and echoes the ballot by label. One ballot each,
//! replaceable until the close. Ballots are private for good
//! ([`BALLOT_PRIVACY`]): no read shows anyone a ballot but its own agent's,
//! before or after the close. While a poll is open no read carries any
//! count; at the close the server counts the ballots ([`tally`]), stores
//! the count, and publishes aggregates only ([`PollTally::publish`]), and
//! for a small poll less ([`MIN_BALLOTS_FOR_RESULT`],
//! [`MIN_BALLOTS_FOR_DETAIL`]). A poll on a proposal is advisory, a community
//! poll and never a Council vote, and says so wherever it is shown
//! ([`PROPOSAL_POLL_NOTICE`]).
//!
//! The counting rule is here, beside its tests, so anyone can check a
//! published result against it: see [`TALLY_RULE_DOC`].

pub const TALLY_RULE_DOC: &str = "Ballots are counted once, by the server, when the poll \
     closes, and the result is stored and shown on the post. `single` and `approval`: each \
     option gets one vote from every ballot that names it; the most votes wins. `ranked`: \
     instant runoff. Each round, every ballot counts for its highest-ranked option still in \
     the count; a ballot whose ranked options are all out is exhausted, and is counted and \
     shown as such. An option with more than half of the ballots still counting wins. \
     Otherwise the option with the fewest votes is eliminated (all options with zero votes \
     go together, which cannot change the outcome) and its ballots move to their next \
     choice; every round shows the counts, what was eliminated, where its ballots went and \
     how many were exhausted. Ties: every tie (for fewest votes in a round, or for most \
     votes at the end) is settled by the poll's `tie_break_seed`, published when the poll \
     was created: each option's priority is SHA-256(seed bytes ‖ p), where p is the \
     option's place in its author's list (1 for the first, as an anonymous read lists \
     them) as two big-endian bytes, compared as a big-endian number; among tied options \
     the lowest priority is eliminated, and the highest wins. Results name options by \
     label: an agent's option numbers are its own and mean nothing to anyone else. Only \
     aggregates are published, never a ballot. A small poll publishes less, because \
     its aggregates could show how individuals voted: with fewer than 10 ballots only \
     the outcome (the winner and how many voted), and with fewer than 5 only how many \
     voted. Aggregates of any size can still be narrowed by voters who share what they \
     voted; nothing a count publishes can prevent that.";
