zeekayandHanzo Dev c13681108f node: purge 'snowman' comment references — Quasar/Nova terminology (comment-only, no behavior change)
Removes the forbidden Avalanche term from code comments in chains/manager.go,
chains/quorum.go, and vms/proposervm/proposer/windower_determinism_test.go. Reworded to
preserve exact meaning; comments only, no identifier/behavior change.

// quorum.go — the node-layer wiring that makes the consensus engine's α-of-K
// quorum-cert finality LIVE (HIGH-4). The consensus engine (luxfi/consensus
// engine/chain) defines the quorum RULE and the vote/cert topology interfaces;
// THIS file supplies the concrete node implementations the engine needs:
//
// - blsVoteVerifier — verifies a validator's BLS signature over the canonical
// vote message against the chain's validator set (the engine is scheme-
// agnostic; the node injects BLS).
// - blsVoteSigner — signs THIS node's accept votes with its staking BLS key
// so its signature can be collected into a cert.
// - validatorStakeSource — supplies per-validator stake so finality is a
// ⅔-by-STAKE supermajority (HIGH-3), not a raw voter count.
// - networkGossiper.BroadcastVote / GossipCert — the QuorumGossiper transport:
// a follower broadcasts its signed vote to ALL validators and any node that
// collects α distinct signed votes gossips the assembled cert, so finality
// never hinges on one node's inbound Chits (liveness; no proposer-freeze).
//
// Inbound votes/certs arrive as app-gossip and are demuxed in blockHandler.Gossip
// (see manager.go) into engine.HandleIncomingVote / HandleIncomingCert.

// --- BLS vote verifier -------------------------------------------------------
// blsVoteVerifier verifies a validator's BLS signature over the canonical vote
// message. The validator's BLS public key is resolved FROM THE HEIGHT-INDEXED
// validators.State AT THE BLOCK'S P-CHAIN EPOCH HEIGHT (RESIDUAL-B) — the SAME
// height-pinned source the set-root and the ⅔-by-stake tally read from
// (validatorSetAtHeight). It is NOT resolved from the CURRENT validator map.
//
// Why the epoch, not the current map: during an async validator-set change a
// validator can be present in the set@H (it legitimately signed the block being
// voted on at height H) yet ALREADY GONE from the current map. Resolving its
// pubkey from the current map drops its valid vote, and if that validator holds
// >⅓ of the stake-at-H the stable set falls below ⅔ and block H NEVER finalizes
// (this is not self-healing for that block — the skew is permanent for H). Pinning
// pubkey resolution to set@H — alongside membership, set-root, and stake — makes
// the cert internally consistent at exactly one epoch.
//
// An unknown validator at the epoch, a validator with no BLS key, or a bad
// signature all yield false (never an error/panic) — a cert with such a voter is
// simply invalid, the fail-closed contract the engine requires. A nil state (the
// no-op on a non-quorum node) yields false for every voter; a K>1 chain is
