Phase 05 Overview: Special Awards and Governance

Objective

• routing semantics
• governance modes and permissions
• award decision and winner finalization workflows

Out of Scope

• sponsor legal/contract process documentation

Exit Criteria

1. Mixed award modes run without collision in a single edition.
2. Governance modes enforce correct permissions server-side.
3. Winner decision audit trails are complete and immutable.
