+Configures a leaderboard cutoff line — a bold orange line rendered after the Nth-ranked athlete.

+Uses the same two-level fallback as capacity: `competitionsTable.defaultCutoffRank` is the competition-wide default, `competitionDivisionsTable.cutoffRank` is the per-division override (null = use default). The effective cutoff flows to the public leaderboard via `getPublicCompetitionDivisionsFn` and renders in both `CompetitionLeaderboardTable` and `OnlineCompetitionLeaderboardTable` (desktop + mobile). Only shown on overall view, hidden in single-event view.
