Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the threshold-voting logic and the epoch/POS handling, then trace how validator and non-validator votes are counted. Done means POS voting uses stake weight rather than node count while preserving the intended threshold behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently we just do it by node count. Epochs support POS so non-validators should as well.
