Description

**Describe the bug**

Test failures observed in #5735 when attempting to add these in CI as deterministic.
e.g. (GCC12-NoMPI-Werror-Real-Mixed) failing
785/1009 Test #94: deterministic-estimator-acforce-legacy-1-16-check ....................................................***Failed 0.15 sec
795/1009 Test #96: deterministic-estimator-acforce-fast-1-16-check ......................................................***Failed 0.15 sec

Possibilities: test setup issue, underlying non-determinism, or actual bug.

**To Reproduce**

Run acforce tests.

**Expected behavior**

Tests pass.

Research direction

Start by running the acforce tests in the CI configuration that reports failures, especially deterministic-estimator-acforce-legacy-1-16-check and deterministic-estimator-acforce-fast-1-16-check. Compare the failing CI setup with a passing run to determine whether the cause is test setup, non-determinism, or an underlying bug. Done means the affected tests pass deterministically in CI.
