Fixes #6711, and fixes #6986 edge cases.
Instead of inserting one operation at a time, it first batches up ops by moment compatibility (see docstring for
_group_into_moment_compatible
). This way, the insert algorithm can first check whether any op in the batch requires a new moment to be created, and if so, preemptively create that moment before placing any of the operations from that batch. This allows it to avoid the nondeterminacy caused by the one-by-one algorithm, where one op inserted at moment[k] can inadvertently get pushed forward when a later op inserts a new moment at k.Tests added for all documented edge cases.
