// ``````````````````````````````` ELECTIONS SUITE ```````````````````````````````
// ===============================================================================
//! Provides generic traits for **election management**, **weight computation**,
//! and **influence calculation** using [`plugin`](crate::plugins)-based models.
//!
//! The traits include:
//! - [`ElectionManager`]: Core election management for candidates.
//! - [`InspectWeight`]: Provides candidate weight lookup.
//! - [`Influence`]: Computes influence values from raw input using plugin models.
//!
//! ## Note
//!
//! Elections are **pluggable by design**, meaning:
//! - The **inputs** generally consist of candidates along with their backing
//! weights (or votes).
//! - The **outputs** can be a single candidate or a collection of candidates
//! (stored via an iterator).
//!
//! Because of this, we define **generic plugin-based traits**, enabling:
//! 1. Multiple election models to be implemented over the same trait interfaces.
//! 2. Flexible storage and computation strategies depending on the election logic.
//! 3. Strong type-safety while maintaining runtime configurability via plugins.

// ===============================================================================
/// A trait for **managing elections** of candidates with associated weights.
///
/// This trait is designed to be **highly generic** and
/// [`plugin-driven`](crate::plugins), enabling multiple election models
/// to be used without modifying the trait itself.
///
/// Elections are inherently **pluggable and diverse**:
/// - Different elections may use distinct **weighting rules** or
/// **selection algorithms**.
/// - Inputs consist of candidates paired with their backing weights.
/// - Outputs may represent either a single winner or multiple winners.
/// - A plugin-based design allows flexible implementations while
/// preserving type safety and runtime configurability.
///
/// ## Type Parameters
/// - `Candidate`: The type representing a candidate in the election.
// ===============================================================================
// ``````````````````````````````` INSPECT WEIGHT ````````````````````````````````
// ===============================================================================
/// Trait for inspecting the **weight of a candidate** for an upcoming
/// election.
///
/// - Different election models may compute or store weights differently.
/// - Providing a trait allows generic election managers or plugins
/// to query a candidate's weight without knowing the underlying structure.
///
/// ## Type Parameters
/// - `Candidate`: The type representing a candidate.
/// - `Weight`: The type representing the candidate's vote weight.
// ===============================================================================
// `````````````````````````````````` INFLUENCE ``````````````````````````````````
// ===============================================================================
/// A trait for computing **influence**, a normalized and comparable metric
/// representing the relative power or importance of an entity.
///
/// Influence is intended to capture **non-transferable system weight**,
/// derived from various inputs such as votes, stake, participation,
/// or other domain-specific factors.
///
/// ## Key Properties
///
/// - **Non-transferable**:
/// Influence is a derived metric and must not be directly traded or transferred.
/// - **Model-dependent**:
/// Different systems may define influence differently based on their
/// weighting rules or algorithms.
/// - **Deterministic**:
/// Given the same input and context, the computed influence should be consistent.
/// - **Comparable**:
/// Influence values must be bounded and comparable across entities.
///
/// ## Design
///
/// This trait follows a [`plugin`](crate::plugins)-based architecture:
/// - The computation logic is delegated to pluggable models.
/// - Different influence strategies can coexist without changing the trait.
/// - Runtime configuration is supported via context.
///
/// ## Type Parameters
/// - `RawFrom`: The raw input type used to derive influence.
///
/// This allows flexibility in supporting various input formats, such as:
/// - Numeric values (e.g., stake or balance)
/// - Account identifiers
/// - Structured or aggregated data
