Side B adds a concrete, well-reasoned test verifying that the rank-centrality algorithm recovers the true order from a random spanning tree of votes, directly strengthening confidence in core ranking logic. Side A dumps several new files (Dockerfile, fly.toml, deps.edn, event_log.rs, views.rs) that aren't wired into any existing module (no mod declarations or call sites shown), making it look like speculative scaffolding of uncertain integration value rather than a tested, functional addition.

council reasoning
A adds lasting production pieces: EventLog (JSONL append/load with corrupt-line handling), ViewStore (persisted counts with coalesced flushes), plus Dockerfile and fly.toml for deployable runtime. B only adds one ranking property test; valuable as a correctness check, but narrower and non-runtime compared with A’s core modules and ops surface.
Side A adds substantial new project infrastructure and functionality: a persistent JSONL event log with append/load logic and error handling, a view-count store with asynchronous disk flushing, plus Docker and Fly.io deployment configuration. Side B adds a single regression/property-style test that exercises the ranking algorithm on a random spanning tree with perfect ratios, which improves verification but does not change runtime behavior or architecture.

[9e3d989b] Add test that 25 spanning-tree votes with perfect ratios sort the alphabet. Demonstrates rank centrality recovers the true order from a random connected comparison graph when each vote encodes item strength as (idx+1). Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
