## Current Test

[awaiting human testing]

## Tests

### 1. Confirm no rewards route returns 404 in running server
expected: GET /api/rewards/campaigns returns 404 (route not registered); GET /rewards returns Next.js 404
result: [pending]

### 2. Confirm Out of Scope section of PROJECT.md does not create confusion as public-facing content
expected: Lines 81-86 of PROJECT.md Out of Scope section reference Leaderboards, Gamification, KYC/loyalty program — stale from rewards era. Evaluate whether these should be removed or rewritten for the public repo.
result: [pending]

### 3. Confirm REQUIREMENTS.md traceability table is acceptable as-is or needs update
expected: REWARDS-01 through REWARDS-10 checkboxes remain unchecked. Traceability table maps REWARDS-03, 04, 08, 09, 10 to Phase 24 (stale — Phase 23 delivered all 10). Confirm whether to tick boxes and update the traceability table now, or leave for post-milestone cleanup.
result: [pending]
