/claim #18

Summary

• Adds a distinct challenge closeout retention guard for the Scientific Bounty System.
• Validates post-award, cancelled, and no-award closeout records for data-room access revocation, restricted dataset destruction/return/legal-hold evidence, appeal-record retention, settlement-gated IP transfer, private-challenge disclosure redaction, and solver compensation/no-award rationale.
• Emits deterministic JSON, Markdown, SVG, and MP4 reviewer artifacts from synthetic closeout records.

Non-overlap

This is separate from existing broad bounty-system, intake compliance, rubric readiness, scoring/arbitration, appeal, payout eligibility, sponsor reliability, IP-redaction preview, data-room access grant, cancellation/no-award, solver withdrawal, reviewer workload, prequalification, benchmark leakage, and award-transparency submissions. It focuses specifically on the final post-challenge closeout boundary: revocation, destruction/return evidence, retention policy, settlement-gated IP transfer, and public disclosure readiness.
