//! Collator Selection pallet.
//!
//! A pallet to manage collators in a parachain.
//!
//! ## Overview
//!
//! The Collator Selection pallet manages the collators of a parachain. **Collation is _not_ a
//! secure activity** and this pallet does not implement any game-theoretic mechanisms to meet BFT
//! safety assumptions of the chosen set.
//!
//! ## Terminology
//!
//! - Collator: A parachain block producer.
//! - Bond: An amount of `Balance` _reserved_ for candidate registration.
//! - Invulnerable: An account guaranteed to be in the collator set.
//!
//! ## Implementation
//!
//! The final `Collators` are aggregated from two individual lists:
//!
//! 1. [`Invulnerables`]: a set of collators appointed by governance. These accounts will always be
//!    collators.
//! 2. [`Candidates`]: these are *candidates to the collation task* and may or may not be elected as
//!    a final collator.
//!
//! The current implementation resolves congestion of [`Candidates`] in a first-come-first-serve
//! manner.
//!
//! Candidates will not be allowed to get kicked or `leave_intent` if the total number of collators
//! would fall below `MinEligibleCollators`. This is to ensure that some collators will always
//! exist, i.e. someone is eligible to produce a block.
//!
//! ### Rewards
//!
//! The Collator Selection pallet maintains an on-chain account (the "Pot"). In each block, the
//! collator who authored it receives:
//!
//! - Half the value of the Pot.
//! - Half the value of the transaction fees within the block. The other half of the transaction
//!   fees are deposited into the Pot.
//!
//! To initiate rewards, an ED needs to be transferred to the pot address.
//!
//! Note: Eventually the Pot distribution may be modified as discussed in
//! [this issue](https://github.com/paritytech/statemint/issues/21#issuecomment-810481073).
