Docker and Kubernetes label maps became ordered tag arrays in random map iteration order, forcing unchanged resources into connected-dashboard deltas (#2441, found while profiling #2199). Sort only the deduplicated label-derived list. Preserve existing label values, source maps, first-choice image references and identity ordering. Exercise all seven affected Docker adapters and twenty-six Kubernetes kinds through registry rebuilds, monitor projection, per-client queues and receiver replay, including real replace/add/remove/clear/restore changes, tenant isolation and a thousand-pod heartbeat.
Contract-Neutral: Deterministic ordering of existing label-derived tag sets only; no public JSON shape, canonical ownership or ordered identity-list change.
