Side A ships a complete, well-scoped feature (RoomList RPC + CLI + types) with integration tests that explicitly verify per-user grant isolation, giving clear lasting value and confidence in correctness. Side B ('progress') introduces a speculative and fairly complex new abstraction (form-template hole-filling, a generic /ui JSON-in-hidden-field dispatch) whose own doc comments flag it as a potential authorization footgun, and the vague commit message signals unfinished, exploratory work rather than a settled design contribution.

council reasoning
B introduces a lasting UI architecture (form_template hole substitution, HtmlUiAction enum, unified POST /ui handler) plus shared runners extracted from web_post and on-demand thread-form expansion, whereas A only adds one straightforward RoomList RPC/CLI path and its isolation tests.
Side A adds a complete user-facing capability: a new RoomList RPC, CLI `room list` subcommand, shared request/response types, server implementation that filters rooms by authenticated grants, and integration tests verifying per-user isolation and grant behavior. Side B is primarily architectural refactoring to introduce a `/ui` dispatch path, shared web handler helpers, and form-template infrastructure, but it does not deliver a comparably complete, validated feature and lacks end-to-end coverage in this patch.

message
[9acdf18a] feat: add RoomList RPC command and CLI room list subcommand Returns all rooms the authenticated principal has a grant in. Includes integration tests proving per-user isolation: users only see rooms they have been explicitly granted, not all rooms in the system. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
