Side B is a small, surgical commit: it adds a real bugfix (room garden pages no longer silently fall back to the public scope when a private room has no content, preventing content leakage), factors out a well-documented `thread_post_index_chronological` helper to eliminate duplicated fragile lookup logic across rpc.rs/garden.rs/ingest.rs, and backs the fix with new integration and browser regression tests. Side A is a sprawling 'reshuffle' commit that mostly moves large chunks of working code into a `legacy/` directory, checks in a huge generated Cargo.lock, and stands up a mostly-empty demo scaffold (health check, counter bump) — it's a project reset with high line count but little durable engineering value per line, and it discards more functionality than it adds.
Side B fixes real behavior bugs (empty private-room gardens no longer fall through to public content; thread_post_index is centralized as stable 0-based chrono indices with redact-safe rebuild semantics) and adds focused integration/browser regression tests. Side A is mostly reshuffle noise—renames, legacy moves, Cargo.lock, and scaffolding—with far less net correctness per line despite its size.
Side B introduces lasting abstractions by centralizing thread post index lookup into `ReducerState::{try_thread_post_index_chronological, thread_post_index_chronological}`, replacing duplicated indexing logic across RPC and HTML code, and adds regression tests ensuring redacted posts preserve stable chronological indices. Side A is dominated by a large project reshuffle (moving files into `legacy/`, renames, workspace/bootstrap, generated `Cargo.lock`, CI, and scaffolding) with relatively little new enduring behavior compared to the amount of churn.
