Only merged work pays — the state each funded issue is in. Found → pick (the gate judges merge-fit) → solve (the forked solver forks, fixes, tests, opens the PR) → the watcher tracks it to merged; you mark paid when the payout lands.

Setup — the one-time human steps

Identity + payout are KYC (yours, once). Do them in the Ghost Browser console → logins; each opens the right page and the session persists.

1. 1GitHub — the github login. Merged pull requests under this account are what get paid.
2. 2IssueHunt — in that SAME github session go to oss.issuehunt.io → Sign in with GitHub (one click) and set the payout account. Every board OAuths through GitHub, so one profile holds them all.
3. 3Solver token — a GitHub PAT (repo scope) set once in the platform superadmin panel. The provisioner injects it into the solver job; this organ never holds it.

The organ drives the Ghost Browser it’s wired to for the boards, and dispatches the forked solver for the fix — you never open a browser here.

Model

The two-key model setup every organ carries: a primary, and backups the keyring rolls to when the primary runs out. Write-only; a saved key is live within ~15s.

GitHub read token

Lifts issue reads from 60/hour (anonymous, which a single scan exhausts) to 5,000/hour. Use a token with no scopes — this organ only ever READS GitHub; the forking and the pull request are done by the solver job with its own separate write PAT, never from here.
