~x-ai/grok-latest → A (3:2)

A replaces ordinal/list-position gradient coloring with min–max normalization of actual vote mass (score_gradient_t + per-group min/max), a precise behavioral fix that keeps similar scores visually close and is backed by targeted tests; B is a worthwhile but largely mechanical type-propagation refactor (Deref on URL newtypes, CanonicalItemUrl through resolve_item/pools/maps) that removes String churn without changing user-visible behavior or fixing a defect.
