How Does the Design of a DEX Prevent Front-Running in Large Trades?

Some DEX designs, like those using batch auctions or a Frequent Batch Auction (FBA) mechanism, mitigate front-running. These systems collect all trades over a short period and execute them simultaneously at a single clearing price, eliminating the deterministic ordering of transactions that front-runners rely on to gain an advantage.
