### Summary Fixed non-deterministic file ordering in the `iter_package_files` function by adding explicit sorting of package files. This change ensures consistent behavior across builds and prevents issues caused by unordered file iteration. ### Changes Made - Applied `sorted()` to file listings in both Python versions (<3.11 and >=3.11). - Guaranteed that files are processed in a consistent, lexicographic order. ### Why This Fix? - Prevents non-deterministic builds caused by unordered file iteration. - Improves build reproducibility and enables better caching in CI/CD pipelines. - Simplifies code by enforcing consistent ordering within the function, reducing the need for manual sorting in callers. ### Testing - Rebuilt the project multiple times and verified that output files are now consistent across builds. - Compared generated artifacts (e.g., `.json` files) to confirm deterministic ordering. ### Impact - No functional changes to how files are processed, only improves determinism. - Safer and more reliable builds, especially in CI environments.
