Acceptance

What has to be true

Focused maintainer reconciliation or duplicate/payment audit improvements with tests. Must cover accepted-unpaid, duplicate source, exhausted overflow, stale labels, proof/source mismatch, or claim-source gaps. Generic docs-only, broad refactors, or duplicate reports do not qualify.

Contributor next steps

Before you start

  1. Confirm the source issue is still open and your change is not already covered by another PR.
  2. Keep the PR focused, link the source issue as Bounty #281, and include test or smoke-check evidence.
  3. No awards remain; treat new work as unpaid unless maintainers reopen the bounty.

Accepted work

3/3 awards paid.
