How a contest runs
Six steps. No leftover house marks on the diagram.
1
Scope
Freeze commit, chain, language, and the surfaces that can move money.
2
Match
Reviewers are picked for the stack, not for a leftover leaderboard brand.
3
Review
Independent reads. Findings stay private until grading.
4
Grade
Duplicates collapse. Severity has to hold up.
5
Report
One paper trail you can ship against.
6
Follow-up
Fixes and a short re-read if the diff warrants it.
