Puzzles #202 & #203 - TOPOLOGY *handwaves* (Numberlink/Kaero)

Outside of the occasional Haisu, I haven't really tried making puzzles with topological arguments or solving largely topological types rigorously, and have taken to joking about handwaving any topology deductions I make. So I tried making a Numberlink and kept having trouble, and eventually turned up this puzzle.

In between playing CC2LP1, which is the first community set for Chip's Challenge 2, I tried to make a Kaero, and it shows. You should probably try CC2LP1 if you have the game, it's really enjoyable. What was less enjoyable was finding many, many alternate solutions to this puzzle, but the final solve path has some interesting logic available.
