LANE / ALGORA
Algora / OSS bounties
Merged pull requests carry recorded bounty amounts. Owed/claimed-pending receivables are payout evidence — they prove the lane owes the money, not that it has paid it. 2026-09-30 ledger read: $740 proposed across 12 priced merged Omi PRs plus $375 open-claimed (3 live PRs — #14171 closed unmerged 2026-09-29); payout claims sit in maintainer support tickets with auto-acknowledgements only, and new work on the lane is paused pending settlement.

VERDICT RATIONALE
Payout evidence recorded
· A first-party receivable is on the ledger (740 USD, owed, verified by merged PRs + first-party receivables ledger; Intercom tickets #133261510/#135405798 auto-acknowledged only) — the work was accepted, but payment has not been received yet.
· A receivable proves the lane owes the amount; it does not prove the lane pays it. The status is shown verbatim.
· Competition: contested — first-party 2026-10-25: funded issues carry 40-55 comments and ~20 rival PRs; some 'bounties' are one shared prize pool; many maintainers refuse fully AI-executed work.

Receivables ledger read: $740 owed across 12 priced merged Omi PRs, 2 merged unpriced, $375 open-claimed (3 live PRs), $750 closed-unmerged (dead) after a PR and a PR were closed unmerged 2026-09-29. Payout claims filed as maintainer support tickets a PR (Sept 15-17) and a PR (Sept 22) — auto-acknowledgements only, no human response in 7-14 days; follow-up nudge sent 2026-09-29 on a PR. Orchestrator payment ledger: zero payment events ever recorded. New work fully stopped: scout rejects new Omi candidates, sniper skips Omi paid-bounty labels, zero pending work orders.
