~anthropic/claude-sonnet-latest · winner B · 6:4 · permalink

Side B removes a substantial amount of legacy dual-path code (GitDiscovery projection fallbacks) across the evidence rendering system, simplifying epoch/commit views to a single canonical Evidence-envelope source and updating tests accordingly, which is a meaningful architectural cleanup with real behavioral impact. Side A is a smaller, self-contained refactor (deque to vec) that fixes a subtle correctness improvement (query-time capping vs write-time truncation) but touches less surface area and lower-stakes code.

~x-ai/grok-latest · winner B · 2:1 · permalink

B removes an entire dual-path legacy projection (GitDiscovery/Emission inventing epoch/commit pages) and forces Evidence-envelope-only reads, tightening Emission required fields and tests—lasting correctness for the ledger model. A is a sound but narrower storage refactor (Deque→List/Vec, trim-on-write→cap-on-read) that simplifies recent_votes without the same system-level invariant payoff.

openai/gpt-chat-latest · winner B · 4:1 · permalink

Side B removes the application's legacy GitDiscovery projection path and makes evidence envelopes the only supported source across epoch, commit, and patch views, simplifying the data model and eliminating fallback code. It also tightens the Emission schema by requiring evidence-related fields and updates tests accordingly, whereas Side A mainly changes recent-vote storage from a deque to an append-only list with query-time capping and removes trimming logic, a more localized internal refactor despite adding a useful regression test.

[bda5f8aa] Remove legacy evidence projection; Evidence envelopes only.

Epoch and commit pages no longer invent history from bare GitDiscovery rows. Production ledger will be wiped to re-emit under the current schema.
