Acceptance

What has to be true

Accepted PR adds a focused guard for PR bodies that reference non-live bounty issues. It must detect common bounty reference formats, distinguish live bounty issues from proposed-only/pending/closed/exhausted/missing refs, produce maintainer-facing output through existing queue/CI tooling, include tests for live and non-live references, and must not auto-label, accept, pay, or close work.

Expected artifact
focused PR, issue, report, or evidence URL
  1. Confirm the source issue is still open and your change is not already covered by another PR.
  2. Keep the PR focused, link the source issue as Bounty #645, and include test or smoke-check evidence.
  3. Check active attempt reservations if you need to coordinate before opening a PR; attempts are advisory only and do not reserve MRWK, acceptance, or payment.
  4. No awards remain; treat new work as unpaid unless maintainers reopen the bounty.
