docs: snapshot competition requirements as authoritative section in CLAUDE.md

Per Lucas's direction 2026-05-08 — re-read the official rules, capture
verbatim into CLAUDE.md as the single source of truth. Read-only after
this commit; only re-snapshot if the lablab page changes.

Includes: Track 3 spec, submission flow with HF event-org requirement,
all 11 deliverables, judging criteria verbatim, prize structure, hard
deadlines, license rule (MIT), tech stack constraints, workshop refs.

This commit also surfaces three misalignments that subsequent commits
will fix:
- HF Space namespace (LucasLooTan → lablab-ai-amd-developer-hackathon)
- License (Apache 2.0 → MIT)
- Cover image (missing)

+## Competition requirements (authoritative)
+
+> Snapshot of the official AMD Developer Hackathon rules, captured 2026-05-08 from https://lablab.ai/ai-hackathons/amd-developer. **Read-only — never edit. If the lablab page changes, re-snapshot the entire section.**
+
+### Hackathon: AMD Developer Hackathon (lablab.ai · sponsored by AMD + Akash Systems · partners: Hugging Face, Qwen)
+
+### Hard deadlines (Malaysia Time)
+
+| Event | Date / time |
+|---|---|
+| Hackathon kick-off | 2026-05-05 00:00 MYT |
+| On-site (SF, by invitation only) | 2026-05-09 17:00 MYT → 2026-05-10 03:00 MYT |
+| Online build phase | open since kick-off |
+| **Submission deadline** | **2026-05-11 03:00 MYT** |
+| Live on-stage pitching (on-site only) | 2026-05-11 05:00 MYT |
+
+### Targeted track: Track 3 — Vision & Multimodal AI
+
+Verbatim from the lablab page:
+- **Objective:** Build applications that process and understand multiple data types (Images, Video, Audio) using the massive memory bandwidth of AMD GPUs.
+- **What to Build:** High-throughput industrial inspection, medical imaging analysis, or multimodal conversational assistants.
+- **Tech Stack:** Multimodal models (like Llama 3.2 Vision, Qwen-VL) optimized for ROCm.
+- **Compute Resource:** Access to AMD Instinct MI300X instances via AMD Developer Cloud.
+
+### Submission flow (Hugging Face partnership)
+
+Verbatim from lablab page → "Technology Partners & Workshops" → Hugging Face section:
+1. Find a model on Hugging Face Hub to work with.
+2. Build or fine-tune it using your AMD Developer Cloud credits.
+3. **Publish your completed project as a Hugging Face Space within the event organization** — `lablab-ai-amd-developer-hackathon`.
+4. Submit your Space link on lablab when you submit your project.
+
+> Lucas joined the org and the Space lives at `huggingface.co/spaces/lablab-ai-amd-developer-hackathon/signbridge` (or will, once Fix A lands). Personal-namespace Spaces are NOT eligible for the HF Special Prize.
+
+### Required submission deliverables (verbatim from "What to submit?")
+
+**Basic Information:**
+1. Project Title
+2. Short Description
+3. Long Description
+4. Technology & Category Tags
+
+**Cover Image and Presentation:**
+5. Cover Image
+6. Video Presentation
+7. Slide Presentation
+
+**App Hosting & Code Repository:**
+8. Public GitHub Repository
+9. Demo Application Platform (= Hugging Face Space)
+10. Application URL
+
+### Judging criteria (verbatim)
+
+| Criterion | Definition |
+|---|---|
+| **Application of Technology** | How effectively the chosen model(s) are integrated into the solution. |
+| **Presentation** | The clarity and effectiveness of the project presentation. |
+| **Business Value** | The impact and practical value, considering how well it fits into business areas. |
+| **Originality** | The uniqueness & creativity of the solution, highlighting approaches and ability to demonstrate behaviors. |
+
+### Prize structure (verbatim from "Prizes")
+
+- **Total prize pool: $21,500+**, sponsored by AMD and Akash Systems, plus an AMD hardware reward and exclusive Hugging Face prizes.
+- 🏆 **Grand Prize: $5,000** — overall top project.
+- **Exclusive Hardware Reward:** AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 GPU — awarded for outstanding social engagement or project promotion.
+- 🎨 **Track 3 — Vision & Multimodal AI**: 1st $2,500 · 2nd $1,500 · 3rd $1,000.
+- 🤖 Track 1 — AI Agents & Agentic Workflows: same tier.
+- ⚡ Track 2 — Fine-Tuning on AMD GPUs: same tier.
+- 🤗 **Hugging Face Special Prize** (Space with the most likes in the event org):
+  - 1st: 1 Reachy Mini Wireless + 6 months Hugging Face PRO + $500 Hugging Face Credits.
+  - 2nd: 3 months Hugging Face PRO + $300 Hugging Face Credits.
+  - 3rd: 2 months Hugging Face PRO + $200 Hugging Face Credits.
+
+### Prize targets for SignBridge
+
+- 🥇 **Track 3** (primary).
+- 🤗 **HF Special Prize** (most likes — requires Space in event org + sharing the link).
+- 🏆 Grand Prize (aspirational).
+- ❌ Build-in-Public extra: **dropped** by user direction 2026-05-07 (no tweet obligations; walkthrough kept as internal doc only).
+
+### License rule
+
+Per the Voluntary Participation & Prize Terms footer: *"Submissions must be original and MIT-compliant."* SignBridge ships under **MIT License** (originally drafted as Apache 2.0 — switched 2026-05-08 to satisfy the literal reading of "MIT-compliant").
+
+### Tech stack constraints (per Track 3)
+
+- **Compute:** AMD Instinct MI300X via AMD Developer Cloud (datacenter GPU, 192 GB HBM3, 5.3 TB/s memory bandwidth). Not Ryzen, not Radeon Pro — those are different AMD product lines.
+- **Models:** Multimodal models optimized for ROCm. Examples called out by the rules: Llama 3.2 Vision, Qwen-VL family. SignBridge uses `Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct` (Qwen-VL family ✓) for sign recognition + `meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct` for sentence composition + `coqui/XTTS-v2` for speech.
+- **Frameworks:** ROCm + PyTorch + Hugging Face Optimum-AMD + vLLM (per the rules).
+
+### Workshop references (provided by AMD)
+
+- "Build and Deploy an AI App on AMD MI300X as a Hugging Face Space" — Steve Kimoi, lablab.ai
+- "Getting Started on AMD Developer Cloud" — Maharshi Trivedi, AMD
