Forum-gold bootstrap: Dotabuff mapping
- A stable event_id is our forum equivalent of a DotA/Valve match_id: one night, shoot, or press run becomes the atomic record.
- The topic plus its screenshots, call sheet, notes, and SHA-256 manifest is the replay bundle that later stats views can query.
- Venue, talent, weekly, and profile pages are aggregates over event topics, just as Dotabuff profiles are views over many matches.
- Forum gold records verified proof-of-work (completed, auditable units); it is reputation only, not USD and not a token.
- Honest visibility, owned/authorized media, and content hashes make the public forum a human-readable audit trail without a chain dependency.
