Side B fixes a real reentrant-RwLock deadlock in RoomCreate/RoomGrant RPC handling, corrects a username normalization bug in tests (@user vs stored form), and adds HTTP timeouts to prevent test hangs plus a new integration test—concrete bugfixes with lasting operational impact despite the terse commit message. Side A merely adds one additional test for already-existing ranking logic, which is useful but far narrower in scope and risk mitigated.

council reasoning
B fixes real tokio RwLock deadlocks by scoping principal/capability reads so guards drop before nested lock acquires in RoomCreate/RoomGrant, plus hardens the test harness against pipe-buffer deadlocks and hangs. A only adds an illustrative ranking unit test; useful, but not a production bugfix or design change.
Side B fixes a substantive concurrency bug by shortening the lifetime of Tokio RwLock read guards before later read/write operations, preventing deadlocks in RPC handlers, and adds an integration test covering room creation. It also improves test infrastructure with process/logging and HTTP timeout changes and updates authentication expectations, whereas Side A only adds a randomized test validating existing ranking behavior without changing production functionality.

[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>
