~x-ai/grok-latest → A (2:1)

A introduces lasting core infrastructure: a batched settlement worker for votes, ranking score caching with warm-on-boot, and read-only ranking panel paths, while stripping demo-counter scaffolding end-to-end. B is a real, well-tested canonicalization bugfix for tilde ontology root keys (normalized storage, garden root children/rankings), but it is narrower than A’s settlement/cache redesign of the vote and ranking hot path.
