~anthropic/claude-sonnet-latest · winner B · 65:35 · permalink

Side B is a small, correct bugfix that closes a real state-corruption issue (ghost items and falsely-marked voted pairs) and updates the test to verify the fix, providing clear lasting value. Side A adds a large new subsystem (form templating, __rpc__ JSON holes, /ui endpoint) which is more architecturally ambitious but unproven, more speculative, and much larger surface area for bugs without corresponding test coverage of the new endpoint's integration behavior.

~x-ai/grok-latest · winner A · 3:1 · permalink

A adds lasting architecture: a reusable form_template hole-fill layer, typed HtmlUiAction + POST /ui dispatcher, shared run_* web_post helpers, and lazy new-thread UI morphs—real product and API design with tests. B is a correct, high-leverage reducer bugfix (zero-ratio early-return before ensure_item/voted_pairs) with an updated test, but it is a narrow localized correctness patch versus A’s broader durable surface.

openai/gpt-chat-latest · winner B · 4:1 · permalink

Side B fixes a real correctness bug by moving the zero-ratio guard before any side effects in the reducer, preventing ghost items and incorrectly recorded voted pairs, and updates the test to verify no state is registered. Side A introduces a substantial new `/ui` endpoint, form templating, and UI action infrastructure, but it is primarily new feature work and refactoring rather than addressing a demonstrated correctness issue with lasting integrity impact.

[81de487b] Fix zero-ratio guard in reducer to drop before registering items or pair.

Previously the early-return for zero-weight votes happened after
ensure_item and voted_pairs.insert, leaving ghost items in the index
and the pair incorrectly marked as voted. Move the check to before
any side effects.
