i'd be very, very surprised if changing the type hint changed anything at runtime - it's possible you're just seeing nondeterministic behavior that happens to map to this

I noticed that MAP outputs simply produce unordered results when converted to a string (as expected) but this is a problem because if you pass this string further down the line - then it changes the state of everything that depends on it.

Thank you. I'll try playing around with this again soon. I suspect that the order of operations is non-deterministic and needs a type hint to know which path to go down
