Bounty Lifecycle

Creator: bounty_create() → Pay via Stripe → Bounty goes live
                                                    ↓
Claimer: bounty_list() → bounty_claim() → library_publish() → bounty_submit()
                                                    ↓
Creator: Review submission → Approve (payment released) or Reject (with reason)
                                                    ↓
                              If no response in 7 days → Auto-approved

Creating a Bounty

bounty_create({
  title: "Stripe webhook patterns",
  amount_cents: 1000,           // $10 minimum $5
  description: "Need idempotency and retry handling examples",
  tags: ["stripe", "webhooks"],
  expires_days: 30              // Default: 30
})

Returns a Stripe checkout URL. Bounty becomes visible after payment.

Platform fee: 20% (claimer receives 80%).

Fulfilling a Bounty

1. •bounty_list({ query: "stripe" }) - Find bounties you can fulfill
2. •bounty_claim({ bounty_id: "abc123..." }) - Claim it (locks out others)
3. •Create knowledge with record(), then library_publish() as a book
4. •bounty_submit({ bounty_id: "abc123...", book_slug: "my-stripe-patterns" })
5. •Wait for creator review (7 day deadline, auto-approved if no response)
