# Phase 05 Overview: Special Awards and Governance

## Objective
Implement special awards as first-class tracks with explicit routing and governance modes, including `AWARD_MASTER`.

## In Scope

- award track lifecycle
- 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.
