Side B fixes a real reentrant-RwLock deadlock in the RPC handler (holding a read guard across match arms that later need read/write again), plus fixes test hangs by adding HTTP timeouts and switching log redirection to avoid pipe-buffer deadlocks, all with clear rationale in comments. Side A adds a nice-to-have connectivity display feature with unit tests, but it's cosmetic CLI output rather than a correctness fix, so it carries less lasting engineering value than B's concurrency/reliability fixes.

council reasoning
B fixes a real tokio RwLock reentrancy deadlock by scoping read guards before nested awaits in RoomCreate/RoomGrant, and hardens tests (log-file piping, HTTP timeouts, auth username expectations) so the server stays usable. A only formats already-available ConnectivityStats for CLI display plus two unit tests—a useful UX nicety, but not a correctness or infrastructure fix of comparable lasting weight.
Side B fixes a substantive concurrency bug by ensuring Tokio RwLock read guards are dropped before nested read/write awaits in RPC handlers, explicitly preventing deadlocks during room creation and grant operations. It also adds an integration test for room creation and improves test reliability with timeout/logging changes, whereas Side A mainly exposes existing connectivity statistics in CLI output with formatting and unit tests but does not change core behavior.
