📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR records two completed paid bounty payments for Round 3 MCP work: two entries dated 2026-05-26 are added to the public ledger in docs/paid-bounties.md for issue #411 with accepted PRs #412 and #424. A new test in tests/test_docs_public_urls.py verifies the document contains these specific payment records and linked PR references.

No blockers from my review.

I checked this against the maintainer payment record for Bounty #411 and the paid-bounties index scope. The two added rows in docs/paid-bounties.md match the accepted/paid #411 entries for PR #412 and PR #424, including the proof hashes fe00016678d3a0dd408ba165b0e04516f16e09cc5c4b512df3c28e60f6f72015 and be12d8e13f6ff0b5c77a643cbe304a083418956d7cdc3c08ab5aded96c892fa4. The added docs test keeps both PR links and both proof hashes present, and the change stays limited to the public paid-bounty index plus its documentation test.

I did not see payout mechanics, price/off-ramp claims, API behavior changes, or unrelated backfill beyond those two #411 records.
