Side A introduces substantial, working subsystems (rank-centrality ranking algorithm with regression tests, event-sourced reducer, form templating with $form holes, a composable URL parser, and vote-compare UI) that encode real design decisions and lasting logic, despite some stray copy-paste artifacts (shell prompts) in a couple of files. Side B is a single-line tweak changing a disabled `<span>` to an `<a href="#">` in a paginator, a trivial cosmetic/no-op fix with negligible lasting impact by comparison.

council reasoning
Side A seeds substantial core subsystems (ranking/centrality logic with tests, event reducer state machine, HTML vote-compare UI, form-template plumbing, parser graph, and test harnesses), which form lasting project foundation despite some pasted noise. Side B is a one-line cosmetic swap of a disabled paginator span to an anchor.
Side A introduces substantial new project infrastructure, including a client-side fetch/SSE UI layer, ranking and reducer logic, a parser with extensive tests, vote handling, UI action parsing, and supporting test scripts. Side B only changes a disabled paginator element from a <span> to an <a href="#">, a minor UI tweak with limited lasting architectural impact.

+eventually i want to have ranking histories.

+there are too many query combinations to precomupte the ranking histories
+(arbitrary user filters, and tag overlap combinations maybe),
+so we're just going to have to calculate them all on demand.
+computers are fast, its okay. for each vote, we need to calculate rank centrality again.
+i was thinking, for n votes we calculate the rank centrality,
+and get node weights. we then output that data to the client (over websocket, or testable barrier).
+then we calculate n+1 votes, _but we keep the node weights in memory_
+so the rank centrality process converges faster.
+this also has the side effect of making the ranking stream in satisfyingly as you load the page.
