feat(finale): per-project presentation/Q&A durations in m:ss + config-save merge fix

- setProjectTiming stores per-project overrides in round config; phase starts
  resolve: explicit input > project override > round default
- Run Order rows get m:ss inputs per project; PhaseControls one-off overrides
  now also m:ss (shared parseClock: '7:30', '12:05', plain '7')
- CRITICAL: round.update now MERGES validated form config over the existing
  configJson — saving the Config tab was wiping projectOrder (would have
  destroyed a running ceremony) and the finals-docs upload toggle

+# Grand Final Judge-Doc Curation + Optional Uploads Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Let admins curate which previously-submitted documents finale judges see, and make the "optional revised uploads" mode render correctly for finalists.
+
+**Architecture:** Everything builds on the existing `final-documents.ts` service + `finalist` tRPC router + the LIVE_FINAL round's `configJson` (same pattern as the shipped `allowFinalistRevisedUploads` toggle). A new configJson key `reviewVisibleRequirementIds` filters the judge review payload; new status fields `hasRequired`/`allUploaded` drive optional-mode rendering in the finalist banner/panel. No schema migration.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Next.js 15 App Router, tRPC 11 + Zod, Prisma 6, Vitest 4 (sequential, real test DB), shadcn/ui (Card/Switch/Checkbox).
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-09-finale-doc-curation-optional-uploads-design.md`
+
+**Conventions for every task:** TypeScript strict, `type` over `interface`. Tests use the factories in `tests/helpers.ts` (`createTestProgram`, `createTestCompetition`, `createTestRound`, `createTestProject`, `createTestProjectRoundState`, `createTestUser`, `uid`) and clean up with `cleanupTestData(programId, userIds?)` in `afterAll`. Run a single file with `npx vitest run tests/unit/<file>.test.ts`.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: `hasRequired` + `allUploaded` on `FinalDocumentStatus`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/server/services/final-documents.ts` (type at ~line 14, computation at ~line 95)
+- Test: `tests/unit/final-documents.test.ts` (extend existing file)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**
+
+In `tests/unit/final-documents.test.ts`, first extend the `makeFinaleProgram` factory (top of file) with an `optionalRequirements` option — change the two `fileRequirement.create` calls to use it:
+
+```ts
+async function makeFinaleProgram(
+  opts: { roundStatus?: 'ROUND_ACTIVE' | 'ROUND_DRAFT' | 'ROUND_CLOSED'; closeAt?: Date; skipRequirements?: boolean; uploadsEnabled?: boolean; optionalRequirements?: boolean } = {},
+) {
+  // ... existing body unchanged, except both requirement creates:
+  //   isRequired: !opts.optionalRequirements
+}
+```
+
+Then add inside the existing `describe('getFinalDocumentStatusForProject', ...)` block:
+
+```ts
+  it('all-optional round: hasRequired false, allUploaded flips when every slot has a file', async () => {
+    const { program, round, reqPlan, reqVideo } = await makeFinaleProgram({ optionalRequirements: true })
+    const project = await createTestProject(program.id)
+    await createTestProjectRoundState(project.id, round.id)
+
+    const before = await getFinalDocumentStatusForProject(prisma, project.id)
+    expect(before!.hasRequired).toBe(false)
+    expect(before!.allUploaded).toBe(false)
+    expect(before!.allRequiredUploaded).toBe(false)
+
+    for (const req of [reqPlan!, reqVideo!]) {
+      await prisma.projectFile.create({
+        data: {
+          id: uid('file'), projectId: project.id, roundId: round.id, requirementId: req.id,
+          fileType: 'SUPPORTING_DOC', fileName: `f-${req.id}`, mimeType: 'application/pdf', size: 10,
+          bucket: 'b', objectKey: uid('key'),
+        },
+      })
+    }
+    const after = await getFinalDocumentStatusForProject(prisma, project.id)
+    expect(after!.hasRequired).toBe(false)
+    expect(after!.allUploaded).toBe(true)
+  })
+
+  it('mixed round: hasRequired true; allUploaded only when optional slots are filled too', async () => {
+    const { program, round, reqPlan } = await makeFinaleProgram()
+    await prisma.fileRequirement.update({ where: { id: reqPlan!.id }, data: { isRequired: false } })
+    const project = await createTestProject(program.id)
+    await createTestProjectRoundState(project.id, round.id)
+    const status = await getFinalDocumentStatusForProject(prisma, project.id)
+    expect(status!.hasRequired).toBe(true) // reqVideo still required
+    expect(status!.allUploaded).toBe(false)
+  })
+
+  it('zero slots: allUploaded false (no vacuous completeness)', async () => {
+    const { program, round } = await makeFinaleProgram({ skipRequirements: true })
+    const project = await createTestProject(program.id)
+    await createTestProjectRoundState(project.id, round.id)
+    const status = await getFinalDocumentStatusForProject(prisma, project.id)
+    expect(status!.hasRequired).toBe(false)
+    expect(status!.allUploaded).toBe(false)
+  })
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run tests/unit/final-documents.test.ts`
+Expected: the 3 new tests FAIL with TypeScript/undefined errors on `hasRequired` / `allUploaded` (fields don't exist yet); all pre-existing tests still pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement**
+
+In `src/server/services/final-documents.ts`, extend the type (~line 14):
+
+```ts
+export type FinalDocumentStatus = {
+  roundId: string
+  roundName: string
+  deadline: Date | null
+  deadlinePassed: boolean
+  requirements: FinalDocRequirement[]
+  allRequiredUploaded: boolean
+  hasRequired: boolean // any slot is marked required
+  allUploaded: boolean // every listed slot has a file (false when no slots exist)
+}
+```
+
+And in `getFinalDocumentStatusForProject` (~line 95), replace the return-value computation:
+
+```ts
+  const required = reqStatuses.filter((r) => r.isRequired)
+  const allRequiredUploaded = required.length > 0 && required.every((r) => r.uploaded)
+  const hasRequired = required.length > 0
+  const allUploaded = reqStatuses.length > 0 && reqStatuses.every((r) => r.uploaded)
+  const deadline = round.windowCloseAt ?? null
+  return {
+    roundId: round.id,
+    roundName: round.name,
+    deadline,
+    deadlinePassed: deadline ? new Date() > deadline : false,
+    requirements: reqStatuses,
+    allRequiredUploaded,
+    hasRequired,
+    allUploaded,
+  }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run tests/unit/final-documents.test.ts`
+Expected: ALL tests pass (new + pre-existing).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/server/services/final-documents.ts tests/unit/final-documents.test.ts
+git commit -m "feat(final-docs): hasRequired/allUploaded on FinalDocumentStatus for optional-uploads mode"
+```
+

+
+### Task 2: Curation filter in `listFinalistDocumentsForReview`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/server/services/final-documents.ts` (`listFinalistDocumentsForReview`, ~line 257; new helper next to `finalistUploadsEnabled` ~line 45)
+- Test: Create `tests/unit/final-documents-curation.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**
+
+Create `tests/unit/final-documents-curation.test.ts`. The review service presigns every file via MinIO, so mock `getPresignedUrl` (partial module mock — keeps `BUCKET_NAME` etc. real):
+
+```ts
+import { describe, it, expect, afterAll, vi } from 'vitest'
+
+vi.mock('@/lib/minio', async (importOriginal) => {
+  const actual = await importOriginal<typeof import('@/lib/minio')>()
+  return { ...actual, getPresignedUrl: vi.fn(async () => 'https://example.test/presigned') }
+})

+Run: `npx vitest run tests/unit/final-documents-curation.test.ts`
+Expected: the first test PASSES (current behavior), the other three FAIL (filter not implemented — they see all 4 files).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement**
+
+In `src/server/services/final-documents.ts`, add a config reader next to `finalistUploadsEnabled` (~line 45):
+
+```ts
+/**
+ * Which prior-round FileRequirement ids are visible to finale judges.
+ * null = no curation (show all prior files). Empty array = hide all prior
+ * files (Grand Final round uploads are always shown regardless).
+ */
+export function reviewVisibleRequirementIds(configJson: unknown): string[] | null {
+  const v = (configJson as { reviewVisibleRequirementIds?: unknown } | null)?.reviewVisibleRequirementIds
+  return Array.isArray(v) ? v.filter((x): x is string => typeof x === 'string') : null
+}
+```
+
+In `listFinalistDocumentsForReview`:
+1. After the `if (!round) return ...` guard, read the selection: `const visibleIds = reviewVisibleRequirementIds(round.configJson)`
+2. Add `requirementId: true` to the `allFiles` select.
+3. At the top of the `for (const f of allFiles)` loop, before building `rf`:
+
+```ts
+    const isFinaleUpload = f.roundId === round.id
+    // Curated mode: prior-round files must match a selected requirement; finale uploads always pass.
+    if (!isFinaleUpload && visibleIds !== null && (!f.requirementId || !visibleIds.includes(f.requirementId))) continue
+```
+
+4. Use the `isFinaleUpload` const in the `rf` object (replacing the inline `f.roundId === round.id`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run tests/unit/final-documents-curation.test.ts`
+Expected: all 4 PASS.

+Note: `data: { configJson: next }` may need `next as Prisma.InputJsonValue` depending on inference — match how the file already imports/uses Prisma types if the typechecker complains.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run tests/unit/final-documents-curation.test.ts`
+Expected: all PASS. Then `npm run typecheck` — clean.

+
+### Task 5: Optional-mode rendering — banner + panel
+
+No component-test infrastructure exists in this repo (vitest covers server code only) — verify via typecheck + the manual smoke in Task 7.
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/components/applicant/final-documents-banner.tsx`
+- Modify: `src/components/applicant/final-documents-panel.tsx`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update the banner**
+
+In `final-documents-banner.tsx`:
+
+1. Guard (line 11): `if (!status || status.requirements.length === 0) return null`
+2. Replace the `done` computation (line 18) and add the mode flag:
+
+```ts
+  const optionalMode = !status.hasRequired
+  const done = status.hasRequired ? status.allRequiredUploaded : status.allUploaded
+```
+
+3. Replace the title span (lines 26-28):
+
+```tsx
+            <span className="font-semibold">
+              {done
+                ? optionalMode ? 'Grand Final documents uploaded' : 'Grand Final documents submitted'
+                : optionalMode ? 'Upload updated Grand Final documents (optional)' : 'Upload your Grand Final documents'}
+            </span>
+```
+
+Everything else (styling, checklist, deadline, button gated on `!done`) stays as is.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update the panel**
+
+In `final-documents-panel.tsx`:
+
+1. Guard (line 21): `if (!status || status.requirements.length === 0) return null`
+2. Add after the guard: `const done = status.hasRequired ? status.allRequiredUploaded : status.allUploaded`
+3. Replace both `status.allRequiredUploaded` usages (badge at line 29, team upload-button gate at line 51) with `done`.
+4. Badge label: `{status.hasRequired ? 'Submitted' : 'Uploaded'}`
+5. Description (line 38) — append the optional hint:
+
+```tsx
+        <CardDescription>
+          {props.variant === 'team' ? 'Your final deliverables for the Grand Finale.' : 'This team\'s final deliverables for the Grand Finale.'}
+          {!status.hasRequired && ' These uploads are optional.'}
+        </CardDescription>
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Typecheck**
+
+Run: `npm run typecheck`
+Expected: clean. (The tRPC client types pick up `hasRequired`/`allUploaded` from Task 1 automatically.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/components/applicant/final-documents-banner.tsx src/components/applicant/final-documents-panel.tsx
+git commit -m "feat(final-docs): optional-mode rendering for finalist banner + panel"

+- [ ] **Step 2: Wire into the round admin page**
+
+In `src/app/(admin)/admin/rounds/[roundId]/page.tsx`:

+Import (next to the other grand-finale imports, ~line 100):
+
+```tsx
+import { ReviewDocsPicker } from '@/components/admin/grand-finale/review-docs-picker'
+```
+
+Render inside the existing `isGrandFinale && programId` block, directly after the flex row containing `<FinalDocsUploadsToggle …>` (the `</div>` around line 1545):
+
+```tsx
+              <ReviewDocsPicker programId={programId} roundId={roundId} />

+git commit -m "feat(final-docs): admin card to curate documents shown to finale judges"
+```
+

+
+### Task 7: Full verification
+
+**Files:** none (verification only)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Full test suite**
+
+Run: `npx vitest run`
+Expected: all tests pass (was 321 before this work; now more).
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Lint + typecheck + build**
+
+Run: `npm run lint && npm run typecheck && npm run build`
+Expected: all clean. (CLAUDE.md: always build before push.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Manual smoke (dev server + Playwright or browser)**
+
+1. As admin, open the Grand Final round page → the "Documents shown to judges" card lists the prior-round slots with counts; flip to curated, untick one slot.
+2. Open `/admin/finals-documents` → the unticked document type disappears from every team; any Grand Final uploads remain.
+3. Flip the curation switch off → all documents reappear.
+4. With `allowFinalistRevisedUploads` ON and all finale slots optional (set in dev data), check the applicant dashboard banner shows "Upload updated Grand Final documents (optional)" and turns green only when every slot is filled.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit anything outstanding**
+
+```bash
+git status --short   # should be clean except untracked screenshots/docs
+```
+
+---
+
+## Self-Review (completed at planning time)
+
+- **Spec coverage:** configJson key + semantics → Tasks 2/4; always-visible finale uploads → Task 2; requirement-less files excluded under selection → Task 2; picker options with counts → Task 3; admin UI next to toggle → Task 6; `hasRequired`/`allUploaded` + zero-slot edge → Tasks 1/5; sibling-key preservation + audit → Task 4; reminders unchanged → verified in spec, no task needed.
+- **Placeholder scan:** none.
+- **Type consistency:** `ReviewDocSlot`, `reviewVisibleRequirementIds(configJson)`, `getReviewDocSettings`/`setReviewVisibleRequirements`, `hasRequired`/`allUploaded` used consistently across tasks.

+# Grand Finale Ceremony System Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Ship the full Option-C grand-finale ceremony system (admin-driven presentation phases with real timers + overtime log, audience QR favorite-voting with per-category windows, persisted juror notes/comments, deliberation completion, big-screen ceremony view with cinematic results reveal) before the 2026-06-11 event.
+
+**Architecture:** Extend the existing `LiveProgressCursor` with a per-project phase state machine and server-stamped timers; extend `LiveVotingSession` with audience-window state and a new `AudienceFavoriteVote` pick-one model; big screen is a pure derivation of existing state plus a small `RevealState` controller. No new session-level phase machine.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Next.js 15 App Router, tRPC 11, Prisma 6/PostgreSQL, Tailwind 4 + shadcn/ui, `motion` v11 (already installed) for reveal animations, `qrcode.react` (new tiny dep), Vitest 4.
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-10-grand-finale-ceremony-design.md`
+
+**Critical context for the implementer:**
+- Two parallel live systems exist: `live.ts` (LiveProgressCursor, cohort-based votes) and `live-voting.ts` (LiveVotingSession, jury criteria votes + audience tokens). The finale uses **cursor for presentation flow** and **LiveVotingSession for all voting**. The cohort-based `castVote`/`castStageVote` in `live.ts` are NOT used for the finale — leave them alone.
+- Source of truth for presentation order: `round.configJson.projectOrder` (managed by `live.start`/`live.reorder`).
+- Known bug: jury live page passes `params.roundId` as `sessionId` to `getSessionForVoting` → NOT_FOUND. Fixed in Task 7.
+- Known bug: deliberation jury page has `juryMemberId: ''` and `hasVoted = false` hardcoded. Fixed in Task 10.
+- `LiveVotingSession.roundId` is `@unique`, so by-round lookup is safe.
+- Project category field is `competitionCategory` (`STARTUP | BUSINESS_CONCEPT`), nullable.
+- **NEVER** run `prisma migrate dev` if `migrate status` shows drift (memory rule) — use the create-only + `db execute` + `migrate resolve` path in Task 2.
+- Run tests with `npx vitest run tests/unit/<file>` (sequential forks pool). Build check: `npm run build`. Always build before push.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Public paths for audience + ceremony routes
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/lib/auth.config.ts:52-65`
+- Test: `tests/unit/auth-public-paths.test.ts` (extend existing)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Extend the existing public-paths test** — read `tests/unit/auth-public-paths.test.ts` first and follow its existing assertion style; add cases asserting `/vote/competition/abc`, `/vote/xyz`, `/live-scores/xyz`, `/live/ceremony/abc` are public and that `/live` alone (jury route prefix is `/jury/...` so no conflict) does not accidentally open admin routes (assert `/admin` still private).
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run** `npx vitest run tests/unit/auth-public-paths.test.ts` — expect new cases FAIL.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement** — in `src/lib/auth.config.ts` add to `publicPaths`:
+
+```ts
+        '/vote', // audience QR voting (token-based, no account)
+        '/live-scores', // public live scoreboard
+        '/live/ceremony', // big-screen ceremony view (projector)
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run test again** — expect PASS. Also `curl -sI http://localhost:3000/vote/competition/x | head -3` (dev server) → must NOT be a redirect to /login.
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit** `fix(auth): make audience vote, live-scores and ceremony routes public`
+
+---
+
+### Task 2: Schema migration
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `prisma/schema.prisma` (LiveProgressCursor ~2152, LiveVotingSession ~1165, LiveVote ~1202, AudienceVoter ~1230, Round, Project, User back-relations)
+- Create: `prisma/migrations/<ts>_grand_finale_ceremony/migration.sql`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add enums** (near other enums):
+
+```prisma
+enum LivePhase {
+  ON_DECK
+  PRESENTING
+  QA
+  SCORING
+}
+
+enum AudiencePhase {
+  CLOSED
+  OPEN
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Extend `LiveProgressCursor`:**
+
+```prisma
+  projectPhase         LivePhase @default(ON_DECK)
+  phaseStartedAt       DateTime?
+  phaseDurationSeconds Int?
+  phasePausedAt        DateTime?
+  phasePausedAccumMs   Int       @default(0)
+  timingLogJson        Json?     @db.JsonB // [{projectId, phase, startedAt, endedAt, configuredSeconds, overranSeconds}]
+  overrideSlide        String? // 'welcome' | 'break' | 'deliberation' | 'thanks'
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Extend `LiveVotingSession`:**
+
+```prisma
+  // Audience favorite-vote window (grand finale)
+  audiencePhase          AudiencePhase @default(CLOSED)
+  audienceWindowKey      String? // 'CATEGORY:STARTUP' | 'CATEGORY:BUSINESS_CONCEPT' | 'OVERALL'
+  audienceWindowOpenedAt DateTime?
+  audienceWindowClosesAt DateTime?
+  allowOverallFavorite   Boolean       @default(false)
+```
+
+and relations `favoriteVotes AudienceFavoriteVote[]`, `revealState RevealState?`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Extend `LiveVote`** with `comment String? @db.Text`, and `AudienceVoter` with `favoriteVotes AudienceFavoriteVote[]`.
+- [ ] **Step 5: New models** (after AudienceVoter):
+
+```prisma
+model AudienceFavoriteVote {
+  id              String   @id @default(cuid())
+  sessionId       String
+  windowKey       String // matches LiveVotingSession.audienceWindowKey at cast time

+
+Add back-relations: `Project.audienceFavoriteVotes AudienceFavoriteVote[]`, `Project.liveNotes LiveNote[]`, `Round.liveNotes LiveNote[]`, `User.liveNotes LiveNote[]`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Migrate safely.** `npx prisma migrate status` first. If clean: `npx prisma migrate dev --name grand_finale_ceremony`. If drifted: `npx prisma migrate dev --create-only --name grand_finale_ceremony`, review SQL, then `npx prisma db execute --file prisma/migrations/<ts>_grand_finale_ceremony/migration.sql` and `npx prisma migrate resolve --applied <ts>_grand_finale_ceremony`. Then `npx prisma generate`.
+- [ ] **Step 7: Verify** `npm run typecheck` passes (pre-existing errors aside). Commit `feat(finale): schema for phases, audience windows, favorite votes, notes, reveal`.
+

+
+### Task 3: Timer helper `src/lib/live-timer.ts`
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `src/lib/live-timer.ts`
+- Test: `tests/unit/live-timer.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing tests** (pure functions, no DB):

+
+### Task 4: Phase machine + notes in `live.ts`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/server/routers/live.ts`
+- Test: `tests/unit/live-phase.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing tests.** Use `createCaller(liveRouter, adminUser)` + factories (`createTestProgram/Competition/Round/Project`, round status `ROUND_ACTIVE`, `live.start` with 2 projects). Cases:
+  - `sendToScreens` sets `projectPhase='ON_DECK'`, target project active, timer fields null, `overrideSlide` cleared.
+  - `startPresentation` → `PRESENTING`, `phaseStartedAt` set, `phaseDurationSeconds` from input (e.g. 120) else from `round.configJson.presentationDurationMinutes*60` else 300.
+  - `startQA` after PRESENTING appends a timing-log entry `{projectId, phase:'PRESENTING', configuredSeconds, overranSeconds}` and starts QA timer.
+  - `openScoring` appends QA entry, phase `SCORING`, timer cleared.
+  - `pausePhase`/`resumePhase`: after pause, `phasePausedAt` set; resume folds into `phasePausedAccumMs` and clears `phasePausedAt`; pausing twice errors; resuming unpaused errors.
+  - overtime: startPresentation with `durationSeconds: 1`, manipulate by directly `prisma.liveProgressCursor.update({phaseStartedAt: new Date(Date.now()-10_000)})`, then `startQA` → log entry `overranSeconds >= 9`.
+  - `setOverrideSlide` sets/clears.
+  - `saveNote` upserts by (roundId, projectId, userId); second save with same juror overwrites content; `getMyNotes` returns only caller's notes.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run** — FAIL (procedures missing).
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement in `live.ts`.** Shared helper at top of file:

+### Task 5: Audience windows + favorite votes in `live-voting.ts`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/server/routers/live-voting.ts`
+- Test: `tests/unit/audience-window.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing tests.** Setup: program/competition/round (LIVE_FINAL, ROUND_ACTIVE), 3 projects (2 STARTUP, 1 BUSINESS_CONCEPT via `prisma.project.update` setting `competitionCategory`), `round.configJson.projectOrder` set, LiveVotingSession created with `allowAudienceVotes: true`, two AudienceVoter rows (tokens A, B). Cases:
+  1. `openAudienceWindow({windowKey:'CATEGORY:STARTUP', durationMinutes:5})` → phase OPEN, closesAt ≈ now+5m. Opening again → CONFLICT.
+  2. `castFavoriteVote` token A for STARTUP project → row created. Re-cast token A other STARTUP project → same row updated (count still 1).
+  3. Cast for the BUSINESS_CONCEPT project while STARTUP window open → BAD_REQUEST.
+  4. Set `audienceWindowClosesAt` to past via prisma, cast → PRECONDITION_FAILED (server-side time check, no cron).
+  5. `closeAudienceWindow` then cast → PRECONDITION_FAILED. Re-open works (new window, key CATEGORY:BUSINESS_CONCEPT) → casting BUSINESS_CONCEPT project OK.
+  6. `openAudienceWindow({windowKey:'OVERALL'})` with `allowOverallFavorite:false` → FORBIDDEN; after `updateSessionConfig({allowOverallFavorite:true})` → OK; any ordered project castable.
+  7. IP cap: create 3 voters with ctx ip '1.2.3.4' casting in same window (use `createTestContext` with custom ip — check `tests/setup.ts` signature; if ip not injectable, set `ipAddress` on rows directly and cast the 4th via caller whose ctx.ip is '1.2.3.4') → 4th distinct voter from same IP → TOO_MANY_REQUESTS. A voter updating their own vote from that IP still succeeds.
+  8. `getFavoriteTallies` returns per-windowKey per-project counts.
+  9. `getAudienceWindow` (public) reports phase CLOSED once `closesAt` past even without an explicit close, includes eligible projects in order, and `myVote` for a token.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run** — FAIL.

+
+### Task 6: Jury vote comment + by-round session resolution + my-votes query
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/server/routers/live-voting.ts`
+- Test: `tests/unit/live-vote-comment.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Failing tests:** (a) `vote` with `comment: 'strong pitch'` persists it; re-vote updates it; (b) new `getSessionForVotingByRound({roundId})` returns the same payload shape as `getSessionForVoting` and creates nothing (null when no session); (c) new `getMyFinaleInputs({roundId})` returns caller's LiveVotes (score, criterionScoresJson, comment, projectId) and LiveNotes for the round.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run** — FAIL.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement:**
+  - `vote` input gains `comment: z.string().max(5000).optional()`; include in upsert create/update (`comment: input.comment ?? undefined` on update so an omitted comment doesn't erase).
+  - `getSessionForVotingByRound` (protectedProcedure): `findUnique({ where: { roundId } })`; if null return null; else reuse the body of `getSessionForVoting` (extract a shared `buildVotingPayload(session, ctx)` helper used by both procedures — DRY).
+  - `getMyFinaleInputs` (protectedProcedure): input `{roundId}` → session by roundId (null-safe) → `liveVote.findMany({ where: { sessionId, userId: ctx.user.id } , select: { projectId, score, criterionScoresJson, comment, votedAt } })` + `liveNote.findMany({ where: { roundId, userId: ctx.user.id } })`. Return `{ votes, notes, session: { id, votingMode, criteriaJson } | null }`.
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run** — PASS. Commit `feat(finale): vote comments, by-round session lookup, my-finale-inputs query`.

+
+### Task 7: Jury live page rework
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/app/(jury)/jury/competitions/[roundId]/live/page.tsx`
+- Modify: `src/components/jury/live-voting-form.tsx` (add comment field — read it first; pass `comment` through `onVoteSubmit`)
+
+No DB logic here; verified by build + Playwright in Task 13. Behaviors:
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Fix session wiring** — replace `getSessionForVoting({sessionId: params.roundId})` with `getSessionForVotingByRound({roundId: params.roundId})` (poll 2000ms). Keep `live.getCursor` poll at 2000ms (was 5000 — tighten for ceremony).
+- [ ] **Step 2: Phase rendering** from `cursor.projectPhase`:
+  - `ON_DECK`: full-width banner card — "Up next" eyebrow, project title XL, team name; muted note "Presentation starting shortly". No scoring form.
+  - `PRESENTING` / `QA`: project card with phase badge (`Presentation` / `Q&A`) and live countdown chip using `remainingSeconds`/`formatClock` from `@/lib/live-timer` (tick via 1s `setInterval`, computed from server stamps — never local countdown state); red text when negative. Notes + scoring form below.
+  - `SCORING`: same but scoring card gets a highlighted ring (`ring-2 ring-[#de0f1e]`) and a "Scoring is open" badge.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Persisted notes** — replace local `notes` state: load via `trpc.live.getMyNotes({roundId})`, keep a `Record<projectId, string>` local draft, debounce 800ms → `trpc.live.saveNote.mutate({roundId, projectId, content})`; show "Saved" / "Saving…" microcopy. Notes keyed per active project (switching project switches the note).
+- [ ] **Step 4: Comment field** — add optional `Textarea` "Comment (visible to admins with your scores)" inside the voting form submission; include `comment` in `vote` mutation.
+- [ ] **Step 5:** `npm run build` green. Commit `feat(finale): phase-aware jury live page with persisted notes + comments`.
+
+---
+
+### Task 8: Reveal controller (backend)
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/server/routers/live-voting.ts`
+- Test: `tests/unit/reveal.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Failing tests:** (a) `saveReveal` upserts steps in DRAFT; (b) `armReveal` requires ≥1 step, DRAFT→ARMED; (c) `revealNext` ARMED→REVEALING idx 0, increments, last step → DONE (idx stays last); (d) `resetReveal` → DRAFT idx -1; (e) **no-leak:** `getCeremonyState` (public, Task 9 — write the test now against the procedure added there if sequencing demands; otherwise assert via a `getPublicReveal` helper) returns only steps `0..currentStepIndex`, empty when ARMED, none when DRAFT.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run** — FAIL.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement.** Step schema:
+
+```ts
+const revealStepSchema = z.object({
+  kind: z.enum(['category-intro', 'place', 'audience-award', 'overall-favorite', 'thanks']),
+  category: z.enum(['STARTUP', 'BUSINESS_CONCEPT']).optional(),
+  place: z.number().int().min(1).max(10).optional(),
+  projectId: z.string().optional(),
+  title: z.string().max(200).optional(),    // resolved display strings, stored denormalized
+  subtitle: z.string().max(300).optional(),
+})
+```
+
+```ts
+saveReveal (adminProcedure): {sessionId, steps: z.array(revealStepSchema).max(50)} →
+  revealState upsert by sessionId { stepsJson: steps, status: 'DRAFT', currentStepIndex: -1 }
+armReveal (adminProcedure): requires existing DRAFT with steps.length>0 → status 'ARMED'
+revealNext (adminProcedure): ARMED → { status:'REVEALING', currentStepIndex: 0 };
+  REVEALING → idx+1; if idx+1 === steps.length-1 → also status 'DONE'… 
+  // careful: advance then check — newIndex = currentStepIndex + 1; clamp to steps.length-1;
+  // status = newIndex >= steps.length - 1 ? 'DONE' : 'REVEALING'
+resetReveal (adminProcedure): → { status:'DRAFT', currentStepIndex: -1 }
+getRevealAdmin (adminProcedure): full state incl. all steps (for preview)
+```
+
+Audit-log arm/next/reset with action names `REVEAL_ARMED`, `REVEAL_ADVANCED`, `REVEAL_RESET`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run** — PASS. Commit `feat(finale): results reveal controller with step-through state`.
+
+---
+
+### Task 9: Public ceremony state endpoint
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/server/routers/live-voting.ts`
+- Test: extend `tests/unit/reveal.test.ts` + `tests/unit/audience-window.test.ts` no-leak/shape cases
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Failing test:** `getCeremonyState({roundId})` (publicProcedure) returns `{ overrideSlide, phase: {projectPhase, phaseStartedAt, phaseDurationSeconds, phasePausedAt, phasePausedAccumMs}, activeProject: {title, teamName, competitionCategory} | null, audience: { open, windowKey, closesAt, voteCount }, reveal: { status, steps: <revealed only>, currentStepIndex } | null, programName }`. Assert: never includes scores, never includes un-revealed steps, includes audience voteCount for the open window only.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run** — FAIL.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement** — compose from `liveProgressCursor.findUnique({roundId})`, session by roundId, `audienceFavoriteVote.count({sessionId, windowKey})` when open, `revealState` (slice steps `0..currentStepIndex` only when REVEALING/DONE; `[]` when ARMED; null when DRAFT/absent). One procedure, ~60 lines.
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run** — PASS. Commit `feat(finale): public ceremony-state endpoint for big screen`.
+

+
+### Task 10: Deliberation jury completion
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/app/(jury)/jury/competitions/deliberation/[sessionId]/page.tsx`
+- Modify: `src/server/services/deliberation.ts` (only if `getSessionWithVotes` lacks project list — verify first)
+- Modify: `src/server/routers/deliberation.ts` (add projects to getSession payload if needed)
+- Read first: `src/components/jury/deliberation-ranking-form.tsx`
+- Test: `tests/unit/deliberation-jury-wiring.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Investigate** `getSessionWithVotes` — confirm what `session.participants[].user` contains (expect JuryGroupMember incl. `user`), and where the rank-able project list comes from (`session.results` is empty before finalize — the form currently gets `[]`!). Decide: extend `getSessionWithVotes` to include `projects` = projects of the session's round + category (via `ProjectRoundState` where `roundId`, project `competitionCategory === session.category`), selecting id/title/teamName.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Failing test:** caller = juror user who is a JuryGroupMember + DeliberationParticipant; `deliberation.getSession` exposes `projects` (non-empty pre-finalize) and participant rows that let the client resolve `juryMemberId`; `submitVote` with that `juryMemberId` succeeds and `getSession` then shows the vote (`hasVoted` derivable). Also assert a juror cannot submit with another member's `juryMemberId` (existing enforcement — pin it).
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement service/router change**, run test — PASS.
+- [ ] **Step 4: Fix the page:**
+
+```ts
+const { data: me } = trpc.user.me.useQuery() // or useSession() — match codebase pattern (check src for existing usage)
+const myParticipant = session?.participants?.find((p: any) => p.user?.user?.id === me?.id)
+const juryMemberId = myParticipant?.user?.id ?? null // JuryGroupMember.id
+const hasVoted = !!session?.votes?.some((v: any) => v.juryMember?.user?.id === me?.id)
+```
+
+Pass `projects={session.projects}` to `DeliberationRankingForm`. Submit all votes in ONE call sequence with `juryMemberId`; disable submit when `!juryMemberId` with explanatory text ("You are not a participant of this deliberation").
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Context panels** (below the ranking form, one collapsible card per project): my finale criteria scores + comment from `trpc.liveVoting.getMyFinaleInputs({roundId: session.roundId})` (criteria labels from `session` payload's criteriaJson), editable via the same `LiveVotingForm` in a dialog (submits `liveVoting.vote` — works because session status check is `IN_PROGRESS`; **verify**: if finale session will be COMPLETED by deliberation time, relax `vote`'s status guard to allow `IN_PROGRESS | PAUSED` and gate `currentProjectId` check to only apply when phase-voting — simplest: allow voting for any ordered project when `round.roundType === 'DELIBERATION'`-linked… **Decision:** add `allowRevote: true` behavior — `vote` accepts any `projectId` in the finale order when the session status is `IN_PROGRESS` or `PAUSED`; keep the `currentProjectId` equality check ONLY when `projectPhase` voting is live i.e. when the cursor's active project equals the voted project OR session.status === 'PAUSED'. Implement as: skip the `currentProjectId !== input.projectId` check when `input.projectId` is in the session's project order and the cursor for the round is in `SCORING` or session is `PAUSED`. Write a unit test for this relaxation.) Also show my `LiveNote` per project, and a link row to the finals documents page (route: check `src/app/(jury)` for the finals docs page added 2026-06-09 — link to it with the project preselected if supported, else plain link).
+- [ ] **Step 6:** Tests + `npm run build` green. Commit `feat(finale): working jury deliberation flow with finale-score review and notes`.
+

+
+### Task 11: Admin control panel revamp
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/components/admin/live/live-control-panel.tsx` (becomes orchestrator)
+- Create: `src/components/admin/live/run-order-list.tsx`, `phase-controls.tsx`, `audience-window-panel.tsx`, `timing-log-card.tsx`, `reveal-panel.tsx`
+- Modify: `package.json` (add `qrcode.react`)
+- Find the admin page hosting `LiveControlPanel` (grep usage) — ensure it passes `roundId` + `competitionId` and has room for the new layout (2-col grid on lg).
+
+Pure UI — verified via Playwright in Task 13. Behaviors per component:
+
+- [ ] **Step 1:** `npm i qrcode.react`.
+- [ ] **Step 2: `run-order-list.tsx`** — props `{roundId}`; uses `live.getCursor` data (`orderedProjects`, `activeProjectId`, `activeOrderIndex`). Groups rows under `BUSINESS_CONCEPT` / `STARTUP` headings (preserving global order); each row: index, title, teamName, category dot, ▲▼ buttons (swap in `projectOrder`, call `live.reorder`), and a "Send to screens" button (`live.sendToScreens`). Active row highlighted; ON_DECK row shows "on deck" badge.
+- [ ] **Step 3: `phase-controls.tsx`** — props `{roundId}`. Shows active project + phase badge; one primary button for the next transition (ON_DECK→"Start presentation", PRESENTING→"Start Q&A", QA→"Open scoring", SCORING→"Send next project" which calls `sendToScreens` with the next project in order); secondary buttons for pause/resume; the big server-derived countdown (`remainingSeconds`/`formatClock`, 1s tick, `text-red-600 animate-pulse` when negative with "OVER" label); duration override `Input` (minutes, prefilled from round config) applied to the next start call. Keep legacy session pause/resume (cursor.isPaused) as a small row.
+- [ ] **Step 4: `audience-window-panel.tsx`** — props `{roundId}`. Resolves session via `liveVoting.getSession({roundId})`. Buttons "Open vote — Business Concepts" / "Open vote — Startups" / "Open vote — Overall favorite" (last disabled unless `allowOverallFavorite`; a `Switch` toggles it via `updateSessionConfig`), shared duration `Input` (default 5). When open: countdown, live vote count (`getFavoriteTallies` poll 3s — render per-window totals; per-project tallies in a collapsible "Tallies (admin only)"), "Close now" `destructive` button. "Show QR" button → `Dialog` with `<QRCodeSVG value={origin + '/vote/competition/' + roundId} size={420}/>` + the URL printed beneath.
+- [ ] **Step 5: `timing-log-card.tsx`** — renders `cursor.timingLogJson` rows: project title (lookup from orderedProjects), phase, configured vs actual, overran chip (red `+m:ss`) when `overranSeconds > 0`.
+- [ ] **Step 6: `reveal-panel.tsx`** — props `{roundId}`. "Compose from results" button: pulls `liveVoting.getResults({sessionId})`, `getFavoriteTallies`, and `deliberation.listSessions({competitionId})` → for each category with a finalized deliberation use its results order, else fall back to jury `getResults` order filtered by category; builds default steps (category-intro → places 3,2,1 → audience-award per category → overall-favorite if tallies exist → thanks) with resolved `title` (team/project name) and `subtitle` ("3rd place — Business Concepts" etc.); shows editable preview list (delete/reorder steps); "Save draft" → `saveReveal`. Then "Arm" (confirm dialog: "Big screen will switch to Results mode"), "Reveal next" (primary, shows `currentStepIndex+1 / steps.length`), "Reset". Show current step preview text so the admin always knows what fires next.
+- [ ] **Step 7:** Compose all into `live-control-panel.tsx` (left col: phase-controls + run-order-list; right col: audience-window-panel + timing-log-card + reveal-panel). `npm run build` green. Commit `feat(finale): admin ceremony control panel — phases, run order, audience windows, QR, reveal`.

+
+### Task 12: Audience voting page + big-screen ceremony page
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/app/(public)/vote/competition/[roundId]/page.tsx` (read existing first; rework content)
+- Create: `src/app/(public)/live/ceremony/[roundId]/page.tsx`
+- Create: `src/components/public/ceremony/` (slides: `ceremony-shell.tsx`, `presentation-slide.tsx`, `audience-vote-slide.tsx`, `reveal-slide.tsx`, `static-slide.tsx`)
+
+**Invoke the `frontend-design` skill before building these two surfaces** — the reveal especially must be projector-gorgeous (spec §9): Montserrat 700, dark-blue `#053d57` field, red `#de0f1e` accent, `motion` (v11, import from `'motion/react'`) AnimatePresence transitions, confetti-grade flourish on 1st place + audience award, 16:9-safe, high contrast, no text below ~32px effective.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Audience page** — resolve session: add tiny public procedure `liveVoting.getAudienceContextByRound({roundId})` returning `{sessionId, allowAudienceVotes, programName, roundName}` (5 lines, include in Task 5's test file as a shape assertion). Page flow: on mount ensure token in `localStorage['mopc-audience-' + sessionId]` else `registerAudienceVoter` → store. Poll `getAudienceWindow({sessionId, token})` every 3s. States: **waiting** (brand header, "Voting opens after the presentations — keep this page open", subtle wave animation), **open** (windowKey title — "Pick your favorite Business Concept", big tappable project cards (title + team), selected ring, confirm button → `castFavoriteVote`, then **voted** state: green check, "Vote recorded — you can change it until voting closes", countdown chip, tap-again-to-change), **closed** ("Voting is closed — thanks!"). Friendly error toast for IP-cap rejection. Mobile-first, thumb-sized targets, zero instructions needed.
+- [ ] **Step 2: Ceremony page** — `'use client'`; poll `liveVoting.getCeremonyState({roundId})` every 2s; full-screen `ceremony-shell` (fixed inset-0, `bg-[#053d57]`, MOPC wordmark small top-left, no nav chrome). Render precedence exactly: overrideSlide → reveal (ARMED: "Results" splash; REVEALING/DONE: `reveal-slide` for `steps[currentStepIndex]` with AnimatePresence between steps) → audience window open (`audience-vote-slide`: giant centered QR (white tile, rounded), "Vote for your favorite …", mm:ss countdown, "N votes cast" ticker) → cursor phase (ON_DECK: "Up next" + team; PRESENTING/QA: team name hero + phase label + huge countdown `formatClock`, red glow when negative; SCORING: "The jury is scoring" interstitial) → welcome slide. 1s local tick for countdowns computed from server stamps.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Reveal slide details** — `place` step: eyebrow ("3rd place — Startups"), team name scales in (motion spring, `initial={{opacity:0, y:40, scale:0.9}}`), 1st place gets gold treatment + confetti burst (CSS/motion particles — ~40 absolutely-positioned animated divs, no new dep); `audience-award`/`overall-favorite`: red accent treatment "Audience Choice"; `category-intro` and `thanks`: typographic full-bleed statements.
+- [ ] **Step 4:** `npm run build` green. Commit `feat(finale): audience voting page + big-screen ceremony view with animated reveal`.
+
+---
+
+### Task 13: End-to-end verification + tally audit
+
+**Files:**
+- Test: `tests/unit/live-results-tally.test.ts`
+- All previous files (fixes as found)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Tally audit tests** — `getResults`: 2 jury voters scoring 2 projects (criteria mode: assert weighted normalization matches hand-computed values), audienceWeight 0 default keeps jury-only ordering; tie detection fires on equal totals; `getFavoriteTallies` counts match casts. Run — PASS (fix `getResults` if hand-computed values disagree; document any fix in the commit).
+- [ ] **Step 2: Full suite** `npx vitest run` — all green. `npm run typecheck` and `npm run build` — green.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Manual drive (Playwright MCP against dev server), screenshots at each stop:** seed/identify a LIVE_FINAL round with projects in both categories → admin: start live session, send project to screens, start presentation (1 min override), watch countdown go red, start Q&A, open scoring → jury (second context): see ON_DECK→phases follow along, write a note, refresh (note persists), submit criteria scores + comment → admin: open Business-Concepts audience window → **clean browser context** (NOT the logged-in profile): load `/vote/competition/[roundId]`, cast favorite, change vote, see voted state → ceremony page shows QR + count → close window → compose reveal from results, arm, step through all steps on ceremony page → deliberation: create session, open voting, juror ranks (verify the Task 10 fix), close, aggregate, adminDecide override, finalize.
+- [ ] **Step 4: Public-route curl checks** for `/vote/competition/<id>`, `/live/ceremony/<id>`, `/live-scores/<id>` — 200, no login redirect.
+- [ ] **Step 5: Fix everything found; re-run suite; commit** `test(finale): tally audit + e2e ceremony verification fixes`.
+
+---
+
+### Task 14 (STRETCH — only if all above is done and verified): Live ranking mode toggle
+
+Skip unless time clearly permits. Admin toggle on the session (`votingMode: 'ranking'`), juror drag-rank of seen-so-far projects persisted to a new `LiveRank` model, results by Borda. **Do not start this before Task 13 is fully green.**
+
+---
+
+## Execution ground rules
+
+- Commit after every task (or sub-step where marked); never push without `npm run build` green.
+- Local dev DB only tonight; prod deploy is a separate explicit step with the user (memory: backup first, never `docker compose down -v`).
+- If a step's investigation contradicts this plan (shapes, routes, component props), trust the code, adjust minimally, note the deviation in the commit message.

+# Grand Final: judge-visible document curation + optional revised uploads
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-09
+**Status:** Approved (Matt, this session)
+**Builds on:** `2026-06-09-grand-final-documents-design.md` and the same-day pivot (commits `f8f2d77`, `8a4184d`)
+
+## Problem
+
+Feedback from the other program admin:
+
+> Jury actually need to see BP + Exec summary + 1min video — the ones they uploaded already. And candidates should be able to upload their PDF pres + video — optional, as some sent it another way.
+
+Two gaps against what is deployed:
+
+1. **Judges see too much.** `listFinalistDocumentsForReview` returns *every* file each finalist team ever submitted (5–7 per team on prod: Pitch Deck, Intro Video, Executive Summary, Business Plan, Promotional Video, plus any Grand Final uploads). The admin wants judges to see a curated subset (BP + exec summary + 1-min video). There is no way to choose which prior documents are surfaced.
+2. **"Optional uploads" mode renders wrong.** The three modes the admin wants are: no new uploads (toggle OFF — works), mandatory uploads (toggle ON + slots required — works), and optional uploads (toggle ON + slots marked not-required). In the all-optional case, `FinalDocumentStatus.allRequiredUploaded` is hardcoded `false` when zero slots are required, so the finalist banner/panel never reach a settled state and the copy implies the docs are mandatory.
+
+Prod facts (verified 2026-06-09 via read-only query): 9 finalist teams, 48 prior files + 3 Grand Final uploads. Every team has all 5 prior doc types. The Business Plan and the 1-minute promo video live under *two different* `FileRequirement` rows depending on the team's path (Semi-Finals Document Submission for 8 teams, Spotlight on Africa Submission Round for 1 team — Blue Fields Company).
+
+## Part 1 — Admin curation of judge-visible documents
+
+### Storage
+
+New optional key on the LIVE_FINAL round's `configJson`:
+
+```ts
+reviewVisibleRequirementIds?: string[]  // FileRequirement ids from prior rounds
+```
+
+Semantics:
+- **absent / null** → show all prior files (current behavior; safe default, no migration needed)
+- **non-empty array** → show only prior files whose `requirementId` is in the list
+- **empty array** → hide all prior files (only Grand Final uploads remain visible)
+- **Grand Final round uploads are always shown**, regardless of the selection — they are what the team explicitly submitted for the finale
+- Prior files with no `requirementId` (fileType-only) are excluded whenever a selection is active. (All 48 prod files have a requirement, so nothing is lost in practice.)
+
+### Service (`src/server/services/final-documents.ts`)
+
+`listFinalistDocumentsForReview` adds `requirementId` to its file select and applies the filter above using the finale round's `configJson`. No signature change; `ReviewPayload` unchanged.
+
+New helper to power the admin picker: list the distinct prior-round requirement slots referenced by the finalist teams' files — `{ requirementId, name, roundName, fileCount }`, ordered by round sort then name. Derived from the same file query, so the picker only offers slots that actually have files.
+
+### tRPC (`src/server/routers/finalist.ts`, adminProcedure)
+
+- `getReviewDocSettings` → `{ options: Slot[], selectedIds: string[] | null }` (null = "all" mode)
+- `setReviewVisibleRequirements({ requirementIds: string[] | null })` → writes/clears the configJson key (null clears back to "show all"). Audited like `setRevisedUploadSetting`.
+
+### Admin UI
+
+New card "Documents shown to judges" placed next to the existing revised-uploads toggle (`src/components/admin/grand-finale/final-docs-uploads-toggle.tsx`, rendered on the LIVE_FINAL round admin page `src/app/(admin)/admin/rounds/[roundId]/page.tsx`):
+
+- A "Show all submitted documents" master state (the default), and beneath it a checkbox per slot labeled `"<requirement name> — <round name>"` with the file count (e.g. "Business Plan — Semi-Finals Document Submission (8 files)").
+- Unchecking the master switches to curated mode with all boxes ticked; the admin then unticks what judges shouldn't see. Re-checking the master clears the selection (back to null/"all").
+- Copy notes that Grand Final uploads are always visible to judges.
+
+For the admin's stated goal, they'd switch to curated mode and leave 5 boxes ticked: Executive Summary (Intake), Business Plan (Semi-Finals + Spotlight), Promotional Video (Semi-Finals) and 1 Minute Promotional Video (Spotlight) — judges then see exactly BP + exec summary + 1-min video per team, plus any finale uploads.
+
+## Part 2 — All-optional upload mode fix
+
+`FinalDocumentStatus` (in `final-documents.ts`) gains:
+
+```ts
+hasRequired: boolean   // any slot with isRequired
+allUploaded: boolean   // requirements.length > 0 && every slot has a file, required or not
+```
+
+`allRequiredUploaded` keeps its current semantics (meaningful only when `hasRequired`). Edge case: if the toggle is ON but no slots are defined at all (`requirements.length === 0`), the banner and panel render nothing — no vacuous "(0 of 0)" complete state.
+
+UI changes:
+- **Banner** (`src/components/applicant/final-documents-banner.tsx`): when `hasRequired` is false — title "Upload updated Grand Final documents (optional)", same neutral blue styling, keep per-doc checklist/count/deadline/upload button; green settled state ("Grand Final documents uploaded") only when `allUploaded`.
+- **Panel** (`src/components/applicant/final-documents-panel.tsx`, team + mentor variants): "Submitted" badge driven by `hasRequired ? allRequiredUploaded : allUploaded`; description gains "(optional)" when nothing is required.
+
+Reminders need **no change** — verified: the cron and the untargeted manual blast already skip teams with no missing *required* docs, so all-optional mode never nags; an explicitly targeted manual reminder still sends (intentional admin override).
+
+## Out of scope (admin actions in existing UI, not code)
+
+- Flipping `allowFinalistRevisedUploads` ON
+- Creating/adjusting the finale upload slots (PDF presentation + 1-min video, "Required" off) in the round's file-requirements editor
+- Ticking the curation checkboxes
+- Populating the Finals Jury group (still open from the previous ship)
+
+## Testing
+
+Vitest service tests (extend `tests/` final-documents coverage):
+- Curation: null selection → all files; selection → only matching prior files + finale uploads always; empty array → finale uploads only; file without requirementId excluded under a selection.
+- Picker helper returns distinct slots with correct counts.
+- `setReviewVisibleRequirements` round-trips null/array through configJson without clobbering other keys (`allowFinalistRevisedUploads`).
+- Status: `hasRequired`/`allUploaded` across mixed, all-optional (0 required), and fully-uploaded fixtures.
+
+## Risks
+
+- **configJson clobbering:** both toggles write the same JSON column — read-modify-write must preserve sibling keys (existing `setRevisedUploadSetting` pattern already does this; reuse it).
+- **Stale selection:** if a selected requirement is later deleted, its files simply stop matching; "all" fallback never breaks. No cleanup needed.

+# Grand Finale Ceremony System — Design (Option C)
+
+> **Status:** Approved 2026-06-10. Event is 2026-06-11 — build tonight in strict dependency order (see Build Order). Each layer must leave the system complete and operable if work stops there.
+>
+> Supersedes the operational scope of `2026-04-28-grand-finale-live-voting-rework.md` (the audience-window section of that spec is implemented here as designed).
+
+## Decisions (locked with user)
+
+1. **Jury scoring mode:** criteria scores + optional comment (like prior evaluation rounds). Live ranking mode is a stretch goal only.
+2. **Audience votes:** per-category favorite windows always; an **overall-favorite** window exists behind an admin toggle (decided day-of).
+3. **Vote gating:** one vote per browser token per window AND max **3 votes per IP per window** (venue NAT tolerance).
+4. **Deliberation:** per category (two sessions). Existing backend (FULL_RANKING/Borda, adminDecide override) is used as-is.
+5. **Architecture:** Option C = full B scope + big-screen ceremony view + results reveal controller. Big screen is **derived from existing state** — no new session-level phase machine. Only new state: reveal controller + display override slide.
+6. **During audience windows the big screen shows vote count only** ("147 votes cast"), never a live per-project tally.
+7. **Big-screen results reveal must be visually outstanding** — projector-grade, brand identity (dark blue `#053d57` field, red `#de0f1e` accent, Montserrat), animated transitions.
+
+## Current foundation (verified 2026-06-10)
+
+- `LiveProgressCursor` (cursor: activeProjectId, activeOrderIndex, isPaused) + `live.ts` router (start/jump/reorder/pause/resume/getCursor).
+- `LiveVotingSession` / `LiveVote` / `AudienceVoter` + `live-voting.ts` router (criteria voting, importCriteriaFromForm, getResults, registerAudienceVoter/castAudienceVote, public results).
+- Jury live page `/jury/competitions/[roundId]/live` follows cursor (poll 5s); notes textarea is **not persisted**; prior-data panel stubbed.
+- Admin `live-control-panel.tsx`: prev/next/pause/resume + **client-local fake timer**.
+- Public `/live-scores/[sessionId]` scoreboard with SSE.
+- Deliberation backend + router 100% complete; jury deliberation page has `juryMemberId=''` and `hasVoted=false` hardcoded (jurors cannot vote).
+- `publicPaths` in `auth.config.ts` does **not** include `/vote` or `/live-scores` → audience pages bounce to login. Launch blocker.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Public access (do first)
+
+Add `/vote`, `/live-scores`, `/live/ceremony` to `publicPaths` in `src/lib/auth.config.ts` (wherever publicPaths lives). Verify with `curl -I` (not the logged-in Playwright profile).
+
+## 2. Schema changes (one migration)
+
+```prisma

+
+Timer math (shared client+server helper `src/lib/live-timer.ts`): `remaining = phaseDurationSeconds − (now − phaseStartedAt − phasePausedAccumMs)`; negative = overtime, displayed `+m:ss` in red. On every phase transition the server appends a timing-log entry with `overranSeconds = max(0, elapsed − configured)`.
+
+## 3. Ceremony control — `live.ts` router + admin panel revamp
+
+New adminProcedure mutations on `live`:
+
+- `sendToScreens({roundId, projectId?})` — advance cursor to project (or next), `projectPhase=ON_DECK`, no timer. This is the "next up" grace.
+- `startPresentation({roundId, durationSeconds?})` — `PRESENTING`, stamp `phaseStartedAt`, duration from round config `presentationDurationMinutes` unless overridden.
+- `startQA({roundId, durationSeconds?})` — close out PRESENTING into timing log, start QA timer (`qaDurationMinutes` default).
+- `openScoring({roundId})` — close QA into log, `phase=SCORING`, no timer.
+- `pausePhase` / `resumePhase` — stamp `phasePausedAt` / fold into `phasePausedAccumMs`.
+- `setOverrideSlide({roundId, slide})` — force big-screen slide or clear.
+- `getCursor` extended to return phase, timer stamps, timing log, override slide.
+
+Admin panel (`live-control-panel.tsx` revamp):
+- Project order list **grouped by category**, current/next highlighted, reorder preserved (existing `reorder` mutation), tap-to-`sendToScreens` any project (handles schedule shuffles).
+- Big phase buttons in flow order; live server-derived countdown, red + counting up when over; pause/resume.
+- Per-project duration override inputs (pre-filled from config).
+- Timing log table (per project: presentation over by X, Q&A over by Y).
+- Audience section: window open/close buttons per category + overall (gated by `allowOverallFavorite` toggle), duration picker (default 5 min), live countdown, **live vote count**, "Close now". QR button → full-screen dialog with giant QR (`qrcode.react` or equivalent tiny dep) linking to `/vote/competition/[roundId]`.
+- Override-slide buttons: Welcome / Break / Deliberation / Thank you / Clear.
+- Reveal section: see §9.
+
+## 4. Jury live page
+
+- Phase-aware: ON_DECK → "Up next: Team X" banner; PRESENTING/QA → project details, same countdown the admin sees, persistent notes; SCORING → scoring form spotlighted (form already available from PRESENTING on — early scorers not blocked).
+- **Notes**: `LiveNote` autosave (debounced ~800ms) via new `live.saveNote` / `live.getMyNotes` (juryProcedure). Notes resurface in deliberation.
+- Scoring: existing criteria form + new optional **comment** textarea → stored on `LiveVote.comment`. Votes upsert-editable until session COMPLETED.
+
+## 5. Audience voting
+
+`live-voting.ts` additions:
+
+- `openAudienceWindow({sessionId, windowKey, durationMinutes})` (admin) — errors if already OPEN; `OVERALL` requires `allowOverallFavorite`.
+- `closeAudienceWindow({sessionId})` (admin) — early close allowed anytime.
+- `getAudienceWindow({sessionId})` (public) — phase, windowKey, closesAt, eligible projects (category members or all), my-vote-for-this-window (by token).
+- `castFavoriteVote({sessionId, token, projectId})` (public). Server-side gates, in order:
+  1. `audiencePhase === OPEN`
+  2. `now <= audienceWindowClosesAt` (source of truth even if no cron closes it)
+  3. project's category matches windowKey (or OVERALL → any finalist project)
+  4. token valid for session
+  5. unique (session, windowKey, voter) — re-vote within open window **updates** the row (change-your-mind allowed while open)
+  6. IP cap: ≥3 distinct-voter rows for (session, windowKey, ipAddress) → reject with friendly message
+- `getFavoriteTallies({sessionId})` (admin) — counts per project per windowKey.
+- `setAllowOverallFavorite({sessionId, allow})` (admin).
+
+Audience page `/vote/competition/[roundId]` (rework): scan → auto-`registerAudienceVoter`, token in localStorage → states: **waiting** ("Voting opens after the presentations" + current presenting team name), **open** (category title, project cards, tap → confirm → done, countdown chip), **voted** ("Vote recorded — you can change it until the window closes"), **closed**. Mobile-first, zero-instruction usable.
+
+No cron needed: vote-time + read-time checks enforce the close; window auto-renders as closed everywhere once `closesAt` passes.
+
+## 6. Deliberation completion
+
+- Fix jury page wiring: resolve `juryMemberId` from `session.participants` matching current user; derive `hasVoted` from `session.votes`.
+- Add per-project context panels to the jury deliberation page: **my finale scores** (from `LiveVote`, editable inline — edits upsert the same vote, audit-logged; "keep" = do nothing), **my live notes** (`LiveNote`), **document links** (reuse the judge-docs components/links from the finals docs feature).
+- Admin: existing create-session (per category), aggregate, runoff, `adminDecide` (manual rankings), finalize, result lock — verify end-to-end, no new build expected.
+
+## 7. Big-screen ceremony view — `/live/ceremony/[roundId]` (public)
+
+Full-screen, no chrome, dark-blue field, Montserrat, brand accents. **Pure derivation** of state (poll ~2s + reuse SSE hook where available):
+
+| State | Display |
+|---|---|
+| `overrideSlide` set | That slide (Welcome / Break / Deliberation in progress / Thank you) |
+| Reveal REVEALING/ARMED | Reveal mode (§9) |
+| Audience window OPEN | Giant QR + "Vote for your favorite {category}" + countdown + **vote count only** |
+| Cursor ON_DECK | "Up next: Team X" |
+| Cursor PRESENTING/QA | Team name, category chip, phase label, large countdown (red overtime) |
+| Cursor SCORING | "Jury is scoring" interstitial |
+| Nothing active | Welcome slide |
+
+## 8. Reveal controller (admin) — §3 panel section
+
+- "Build reveal" generates `stepsJson` from deliberation results (per category 3rd→2nd→1st) + audience favorite tallies (per-category winners, overall if enabled): `[{kind:'category-intro',category}, {kind:'place',category,place,projectId}, …, {kind:'audience-award',windowKey,projectId}, {kind:'thanks'}]`. Editable/rebuildable while DRAFT (e.g., after adminDecide changes order).
+- Admin previews all steps privately. "Arm" → big screen shows a Results splash. "Next" advances `currentStepIndex` one step at a time. "Reset" → back to DRAFT, screen leaves reveal mode.
+- Router: `liveVoting.buildReveal`, `armReveal`, `revealNext`, `resetReveal` (admin) + reveal state included in the public ceremony-state query (steps beyond `currentStepIndex` are **never** sent to the public endpoint).
+
+## 9. Reveal visuals (the gorgeous part)
+
+Use the `frontend-design` skill when building. Requirements: cinematic step transitions (place card slides/fades up, 1st-place moment visibly bigger than 3rd/2nd), confetti or equivalent flourish on 1st place and audience award, team name in very large Montserrat 700, category chip, no scores shown unless step includes them, safe on 16:9 projector at distance (high contrast, no small text). Prefer CSS/tailwind animation; adding `framer-motion` is acceptable if it materially raises quality. Must degrade gracefully (refresh mid-reveal lands on current step).
+
+## 10. Results tally audit
+
+- Jury results: existing `getResults` weighted aggregation + tie detection — dedicated tests.
+- Audience awards are **counts from `AudienceFavoriteVote`**, kept separate from jury scores (separate awards). `audienceVoteWeight` blending stays available but is NOT used in the reveal unless explicitly configured; default 0.
+
+## Out of scope (explicit)
+
+Live ranking mode for jurors (stretch only, after everything else), automated tie-breaker revotes (admin_decides stands), audience phones showing live scores (vote-only page), session-level ceremony phase machine.
+
+## Build order (cut line moves down, never breaks)
+
+1. publicPaths fix + schema migration
+2. Audience windows + favorite votes + IP cap + audience page + QR (audience system complete)
+3. Phase model + server timers + admin panel revamp (ceremony operable)
+4. Jury page phases + persisted notes + vote comments (jury complete)
+5. Deliberation wiring fix + context panels (deliberation complete)
+6. Big-screen ceremony view (derived states + override slides)
+7. Reveal controller + reveal visuals
+8. Tally audit tests → stretch: live ranking toggle
+
+Each layer: vitest tests + `npm run build` green before the next.
+
+## Test matrix (vitest, follows tests/helpers.ts factory pattern)
+
+- Window: open/cast OK; wrong-category reject; cast after closesAt reject (no cron); early close reject; re-open works; OVERALL requires toggle.
+- Favorite votes: one per token per window; re-vote updates while open; IP cap at 3 distinct voters; tallies correct.
+- Phases: transition sequence; timing log entries with correct overranSeconds; pause/resume accumulator math.
+- Notes: upsert per (round, project, user).
+- Deliberation: juryMemberId resolution, hasVoted, vote→aggregate→finalize with real juror identity.
+- Reveal: build from results, step advance, public endpoint never leaks un-revealed steps.
+- Results: weighted jury aggregation + tie detection regression tests.
