Why

Decision

SUBMITTED — access unlocked; balance-indexer bug blocked buy/borrow; report + public package still shipped.

Why now

Beta code arrived after EXP_SPOUT_001 kill (access gate). Kill reason cleared → reopen then submit.

01What We Believed

Hypothesis

Once a beta passcode arrives, a structured Devnet teardown + public write-up can still close the Superteam product-feedback loop before the listing deadline.

Prediction

{
  "expected": "Submission accepted; strongest finding is first-party balance sync failure",
  "confidence": 0.6
}

Success criteria

beta redeem success
structured public report URL
Earn submission received

Action

Redeemed beta; connected Devnet wallet; funded via official faucets; documented chain vs in-app $0 balance bug; published structured report + public write-up; human Earn submit.

03What Changed

Learning

A killed access-gate bet can reopen when the gate clears. Genuine testing can still produce a high-severity product finding without a successful buy. Earn credits are finite — one credit per bounty submit.

Reality

Believed Spout was dead without a passcode → Reality code arrived → Changed REOPEN → SUBMITTED. Believed faucet failure → Reality chain funded, app indexer empty → Changed primary bug to balance sync.
