Side B fixes a real performance/correctness problem in the sorterc scan (avoiding full log replay with centrality computation), adds richer error reporting (full parse_error text), a genuinely useful --ingest replay-and-compile feature, updates docs to match, and includes new tests validating the fix. Side A adds a sizable new speculative subsystem (form templating with $form holes, a unified /ui endpoint) that duplicates existing routes' functionality and even flags its own security caveat, with the commit message itself just 'progress', making it feel more exploratory than a finished, load-bearing improvement.

council reasoning
A adds lasting product architecture: a reusable form_template hole-fill layer, typed HtmlUiAction parsing, and a unified POST /ui handler that also refactors web_post into shared run_* paths and lazy-expands new-thread UI. B is valuable but narrower—fast parse-only scan, richer parse_error surfaces, and compile --ingest—solid sorterc DX/perf fixes without changing the core server product surface as deeply.
Side A introduces a new `/ui` endpoint with `HtmlUiAction` parsing, a reusable JSON form-template mechanism (`form_template.rs`), and refactors existing web-post handlers into shared functions so multiple UI actions can reuse the same logic. Side B meaningfully improves offline tooling by making log scans faster, exposing detailed parse errors, and adding `compile --ingest`, but those changes primarily enhance developer workflows rather than extending the application's core architecture and browser interaction model.

### `scan` — lint an `events.jsonl`
-Reads a JSONL event log and reports problems without starting a server.
+Fast single-pass check. Does **not** replay the log (replay runs rank centrality on every ingest and gets slow fast).
```bash
cargo run -p sorterc -- scan events.jsonl
-cargo run -p sorterc -- scan events.jsonl --pretty
+cargo run -p sorterc -- scan events.jsonl --json
+cargo run -p sorterc -- scan events.jsonl --json --pretty
```
+Default output is human-readable with a blank line between each problem. Use `--json` for machine output.
+
Reports:
- **bad JSON lines** — lines that are not valid JSON
-- **malformed ingests** — ingest events whose `raw` DSL fails to parse
-- **skipped ingests** — ingests dropped during replay (same behavior as server boot)
+- **malformed ingests** — ingest events whose `raw` DSL fails to parse, with full `parse_error` text
Exits 0 when clean, 1 when any issue is found.
+### `compile --ingest` — compile one event from a log
+
+Replay all events **before** the target ingest as base state, then compile that ingest's DSL:
+
+```bash
+cargo run -p sorterc -- compile --ingest cabd8adc-57ae-402d-a940-8e24339ac451 --from events.jsonl --pretty
+```
+
+Output includes `ingest_id`, `ingest_line`, and rankings for that post only. This may take a while for ingests late in a large log (full replay up to that point).
+
## Typical uses
- Iterate on `.sorter` files in an editor and pipe through `compile` to see rankings instantly
