Side B introduces a substantial, well-tested feature: a content-addressed, hash-chained evidence ledger with resumable ranking, HTML index pages, credential-stripping, and comprehensive new tests (test_evidence.py, integration.clj updates), representing real architectural and durability improvements. Side A is a small, narrowly scoped UI tweak adding a view-count parameter to one page with a matching test, useful but far more limited in scope and lasting impact.
A only wires an existing view-count into the vote-compare layout (a few call-site lines plus assertion updates). B adds a content-addressed Evidence ledger, idempotent append/hash-chaining, resumable ranking that skips duplicate LLM calls, and a full crawlable HTML evidence graph (epochs/commits/comparisons/attempts/judgments) with substantial tests—core lasting transparency infrastructure versus a minor display tweak.
Side B introduces a substantial evidence and audit infrastructure: it adds versioned append-only Evidence events, idempotent persistence with hash chaining, resumable LLM ranking, HTML evidence browsing, richer audit links, and extensive integration/unit tests covering replay, downloads, and legacy behavior. Side A is a useful but localized feature that threads existing view-count support into the vote comparison page and adds tests verifying the displayed count increments.
