/claim #18

Summary

• add a self-contained Sponsor Escrow Readiness Guard for the Scientific Bounty System
• validate synthetic challenge funding packets for escrow evidence, underfunding, stale/expiring escrow proof, unsupported currencies, missing release authorization, payout schedule mismatch, and incomplete payout routing
• generate reviewer-ready JSON, Markdown, SVG, GIF, and MP4 demo artifacts

Why this slice

This focuses on sponsor-side prize funding readiness before solver submissions open. It is distinct from existing #18 slices for intake/rubric readiness, scoring/arbitration, appeals, communication parity, accessibility/localization, onboarding parity, debrief feedback, withdrawal reimbursement, payout routing, and solver eligibility.
