Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A new Python script approves eight hardcoded stuck bounties. It signs each request with an admin Ed25519 key, submits requests to a configurable endpoint, retries selected failures, tracks results, and returns a failure status when needed.

Changes

Bounty approval automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Signed bounty approval flow
submission_276.md
The script loads ADMIN_SIGNING_KEY, signs approval payloads, posts them to the configurable BASE_URL endpoint, retries 403/503 and network errors with exponential backoff, and exits non-zero when approvals fail. Verification metadata records the generation source and issue reference.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to cedc7

The proposed payout automation still uses placeholder bounty and winner data, a placeholder service endpoint, and an authorization format that does not match the payout service; its retry behavior may also repeat a payout request. It is not merge-ready until the records, endpoint configuration, authorization flow, and retry safety are corrected.

Signs eight approvals through the night
Retries when the pathways stall
Counts the wins and notes them all
Then hops away with status clear

P1 Badge Add the payout fix to an executable code path

This commit adds the purported fix only as raw text in submission_276.md; nothing imports, invokes, packages, or deploys it, so every production environment continues running exactly the pre-commit payout code and the stuck bounties remain untouched. Implement the repair in an executable client/operations artifact or in the separate backend that owns these services rather than in a root Markdown submission.

P1 Badge Sign approval requests using the admin authentication protocol

For any request sent to the real approval endpoint, this signature will be rejected: the established BountiesApi.approve path calls postAdmin, whose signAdminRequest signs the HTTP method, request URI, timestamp, nonce, and body hash and places the result in a TinyPlace-Admin authorization header. This code instead signs only sorted JSON, hex-encodes it, and inserts it into the body, so the retry loop cannot authenticate or release any payout.

Remove the placeholder API default.

If BASE_URL is unset, every request targets https://api.example.com. The script then cannot contact the bounty service. Make BASE_URL required before constructing APPROVE_ENDPOINT.

Replace the placeholder bounty records with verified issue data.

The IDs use bounty-1 through bounty-8, and the winner values end with .... These values are not usable approval identifiers. The listed rewards total 1,560.70 USDC, which does not match the stated 1,560 USDC. Load the exact IDs, full winner keys, and verified rewards before sending requests. Validate the expected set and total.

Use the admin authorization flow for bounty approval.

approve_bounty signs only the JSON body and sends only Content-Type. The repository’s post_admin flow signs the method, URI, timestamp, nonce, and body hash. It sends a TinyPlace-Admin Authorization header with X-TinyPlace-Date and X-TinyPlace-Nonce. Use this flow for POST /bounties/{bounty_id}/approve.
