Feature: feat/panel to dev

Automated PR tracking changes from feat/panel into dev.

Note

Low Risk
Additive documentation and a new tested library package; legacy judging in packages/api is untouched until a later cutover.

Overview
Introduces Panel, a standalone hackathon judging product under judging/, with a long-form PLAN.md, MIT license, README, and ADRs for a standalone boundary and a pure @panel/core.

Phase 0 deliverable: new workspace package @panel/core — zero runtime deps, ESLint no-restricted-imports blocking host/@query imports in library code — implementing portable judging logic: phase gating, rubric validation, visit timers, table distance (zones/coordinates), dispatch (coverage / uncertainty), ranking (z-score, Bayesian shrink, optional Bradley–Terry blend), uncertainty helpers, and shared event log / outbox / WebSocket channel types. Logic is ported from today’s club judge stack with tests asserting rank() matches the legacy pipeline at pairwiseWeight = 0.

Monorepo wiring adds judging/* to pnpm-workspace.yaml and includes judging/core in the root pnpm test script. No @panel/server, DB, web UI, or changes to existing packages/api judge routers yet.

Pairwise ranking collapses on tied rubrics

Medium Severity

scaleStrengths maps Bradley-Terry strengths onto the rubric min/max. When those anchors are equal, every compared project is assigned that same value, so pairwise outcomes do not affect score or placement. Rubric ties are common after z-normalization of single-vote judges, which is the case pairwise blending is meant to resolve.
