GardenItemUrl, ForumThreadUrl, TildeOntologyPath\n- resolve_item returns CanonicalItemUrl; validate uses HashSet<CanonicalItemUrl>\n- compute_scope_rank_changes keys are CanonicalItemUrl; pair RPC uses Vec pool\n- pick_random_distinct_canonical; connectivity stats on &[CanonicalItemUrl]\n- Global rank unranked uses stored ids before GardenItemUrl mapping\n\nMade-with: Cursor\n\nSide B — unified
