>
> Previously, workflows had no way to grant gamification points, so custom score a…wards could only be created manually through the admin score-event API.
> 
> This change adds an \`action:gamification\_score\` workflow node, registered from the gamification plugin, that creates a \`GamificationScoreEvent\` for a user with configurable points (negative values deduct), an optional date, and an optional description; the points are picked up by the existing scheduled leaderboard recalculation.
