Fix filtering config save, auto-save, streamed results, improved AI prompt

- Add missing fields to FilteringConfigSchema (aiParseFiles, startupAdvanceCount,
  conceptAdvanceCount, notifyOnEntry, notifyOnAdvance) — Zod was silently
  stripping them on save
- Restore auto-save with 800ms debounce on config changes
- Add staggered animations for filtering results (stream in one-by-one)
- Improve AI screening prompt: file type label mappings, soft cap handling,
  missing documents = fail, better user prompt structure

+- files[]: per-file details (see File Type Reference below) with file_type, page_count (if known), size_kb, detected_lang (ISO 639-3 language code like 'eng', 'fra'), lang_confidence (0-1), round_name (which round the file was submitted for), and is_current_round flag
 - description: project summary text

 - If document content is provided (text_content field in files), use it for deeper analysis. Pay SPECIAL ATTENTION to files from the current round (is_current_round=true) as they are the most recent and relevant submissions.
 - If detected_lang is provided, use it to evaluate language requirements (e.g. 'eng' = English, 'fra' = French). lang_confidence indicates detection reliability.
 
+## File Type Reference
+The file_type field uses these codes. When criteria mention document names, match them to the correct code:
+- EXEC_SUMMARY = Executive Summary
+- PRESENTATION = Pitch Deck / Presentation
+- BUSINESS_PLAN = Business Plan
+- VIDEO = Video
+- VIDEO_PITCH = Video Pitch
+- SUPPORTING_DOC = Supporting Document
+- OTHER = Other / miscellaneous document
+
+IMPORTANT: Only evaluate page limits against the CORRECT document type. For example, a page limit on "executive summary" applies ONLY to files with file_type=EXEC_SUMMARY, not to pitch decks or other documents.
+
+## How to Interpret Criteria
+- Treat criteria as reasonable guidelines written by a human, not as rigid legal rules.
+- When criteria say "soft cap", "approximately", "around", "about", or "reasonable amount", be LENIENT. A document that is 1-3 pages over a soft cap still meets criteria. Only flag if it is egregiously over (e.g. double the stated limit).
+- When criteria have NO softening language, treat them as firm but still use judgment — a 1-page overage on a hard limit is borderline, not an automatic fail.
+- Page count data may be unavailable (null) for some files. If page_count is null, do NOT penalize — only evaluate page limits when page_count is actually provided for that file.
+- Focus on the INTENT behind each criterion, not a hyper-literal reading.
+
+## Missing Documents
+- If criteria mention document requirements (executive summary, pitch deck, etc.) and the project has ZERO files (file_count=0), this is a CLEAR FAIL. Every competition applicant is expected to upload documents.
+- "Where applicable" in criteria refers to edge cases within specific document types — it does NOT mean documents are optional.
+- A project with no uploaded documents at all should always have meets_criteria=FALSE unless the criteria explicitly say documents are optional.
+
+## Decision Framework
+- Set meets_criteria=TRUE if the project satisfies the core intent of the criteria, even with minor imperfections (e.g. a few pages over a soft cap).
+- Set meets_criteria=FALSE when there is a clear, material violation: missing required documents entirely, startup far exceeding age limit, documents entirely in the wrong language, no visible ocean impact, etc.
+- When in doubt on a SOFT criterion (page lengths, formatting), set meets_criteria=TRUE with a lower confidence score and note the concern in reasoning.
+- When in doubt on a HARD criterion (age limits, language, having documents at all), set meets_criteria=FALSE.
+- Mention specific concerns in the reasoning field so the admin can review.
