Bounty Autopilot

Autonomous scout and worker queue for paid coding bounties.

Active lanes

• GitHub bounty scout: scans public GitHub issues every 15 minutes.
• TaskBounty scout: scans TaskBounty every 15 minutes and works better after TASKBOUNTY_API_KEY and TASKBOUNTY_AGENT_ID are added as repository secrets.
• Codex automations: active for scout and solver follow-up.
• Telegram notifications: send messages when reports change, submissions/claims update, health changes, or workflows fail.

Current financial state
