Leaderboard Lifecycle
1. Intake
Event is validated and normalized into a scoring-ready record.
2. Compute
Scoring logic applies to update user totals and ranking indexes.
3. Publish
Latest rank state is exposed to app surfaces and operator views.
4. Reconcile
Campaign close triggers final checks and locks winning positions.
