Phase 04 Overview: Participant Journeys

Objective

Refit applicant, jury, observer, and audience experiences to stage-native contracts with correct realtime behavior.

In Scope

• applicant intake/status flows
• jury assignment/evaluation/live flows
• audience voting and live score flows
• observer read-only reporting alignment

Out of Scope

• admin config internals

Exit Criteria

1. End-to-end participant paths pass mandatory E2E tests.
2. Realtime behavior converges under reconnect and window changes.
3. Policy enforcement matches authz and stage contracts.
