/claim #18

Summary

• Adds a focused challenge evidence freeze and tamper-diff gate for SCIBASE issue #18.
• Freezes solver submission manifests at the challenge deadline, compares post-deadline sponsor/reviewer packets against the frozen manifest, and flags checksum drift, metric drift, late-added primary artifacts, removals, metadata drift, and missing reviewer-visible exception justifications.
• Produces scoring exclusions, arbitration/payout hold decisions, reviewer tasks, public exception notes, deterministic audit packets, JSON/Markdown/SVG outputs, and a short MP4 demo artifact.
