Side A fixes a real production bug (cloud IPs hitting Reddit's block page), adds a proper OAuth-required retry/refresh path, error truncation, and a test, providing substantial lasting infrastructure value. Side B is a small, correct bugfix moving a guard before side effects, valuable but much narrower in scope and impact than A's change.

~x-ai/grok-latest · winner A · 3:1 · permalink

Commit A fixes a production-blocking path: when OAuth creds exist it never falls back to www.reddit.com (which returns network-security 403 HTML from cloud IPs), adds AuthRejected + forced token refresh/retry, and tightens error reporting—real lasting API reliability. Commit B is a correct but tiny guard reordering so zero-ratio votes skip ensure_item/voted_pairs; valuable data-integrity hygiene, yet far narrower in scope than A’s OAuth redesign.

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

Side A fixes a production-facing reliability issue by requiring OAuth when credentials exist, retrying once with a refreshed token on 401/403, propagating token acquisition errors instead of silently falling back, and improving error handling with truncated diagnostics and a regression test. Side B corrects an ordering bug by moving the zero-ratio early return before `ensure_item` and `voted_pairs.insert`, preventing ghost state, but it is a smaller, localized fix with narrower impact.

message

[8f69c309] Require Reddit OAuth when credentials are set and refresh on 401/403.

Avoid falling back to the public www.reddit.com API from cloud IPs, which
returns Reddit's network-security block page. Also pin SORTER2_BASE_URL in fly.toml.

[81de487b] Fix zero-ratio guard in reducer to drop before registering items or pair.

Previously the early-return for zero-weight votes happened after
ensure_item and voted_pairs.insert, leaving ghost items in the index
and the pair incorrectly marked as voted. Move the check to before
any side effects.
