Acceptance

What has to be true

Focused read-only improvement to scripts/submission_quality_gate.py that warns agents about active attempts on the referenced open bounty. Must preserve existing payability and duplicate checks, preserve offline fixture mode, degrade to advisory warnings when the attempts API is unavailable, update agent docs, and include deterministic tests for no attempts, one attempt, multiple attempts, unavailable API, and closed or exhausted bounty behavior. Server-side mutations, broad bot work, unrelated API rewrites, or duplicate implementations 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 #384, and include test or smoke-check evidence.
  3. No awards remain; treat new work as unpaid unless maintainers reopen the bounty.
