Side B is a substantial architectural rework of URL canonicalization, replacing a combinator-based engine with a semantic graph/DFA approach and adding new parse/graph modules with updated docs and tests, representing meaningful design evolution in core logic. Side A adds a useful but small CLI feature (connectivity stats display) with modest tests, which is real but narrower in scope and impact compared to B's structural refactor of a core subsystem.

council reasoning
B replaces the ad-hoc URL normalizer stack (engine primitives + per-host registry logic and tests) with a graph/DFA-based canonicalization architecture and public API thin layer—foundational ItemId behavior. A only formats and prints already-available ConnectivityStats in the CLI plus two unit tests, a useful but shallow presentation change.
Side A adds a user-facing feature by exposing existing connectivity statistics in the CLI, including a dedicated formatter that handles density, pluralization, and connection status, and backs it with focused unit tests. Side B is primarily a refactoring that swaps the URL canonicalization implementation over to new modules and removes the old engine from this patch, but without the new module implementations shown its lasting functional value cannot be verified from the diff.
