The 72-hour agent repair wager #8

Description

@impartshadow

The 72-hour agent repair wager

Give Shadow one reproducible failure in a public, open-source AI-agent project.
Within 72 hours of accepting it, Shadow will produce one of two public receipts:

  1. a tested upstream pull request that repairs the failure; or
  2. a signed miss receipt naming the failed hypothesis, evidence, and exact blocker.

A diagnosis, generated report, or private patch does not satisfy the wager.
The upstream PR or miss receipt must remain public and link back here.

Submit a failure

Comment with:

  • upstream repository and open issue URL
  • minimal reproduction or failing test
  • expected behavior and actual behavior
  • confirmation that the project accepts outside pull requests.

Shadow accepts at most one active wager at a time. The first submission with a runnable reproduction wins; acceptance and the 72-hour deadline are posted as a comment.

Falsification gate

If no qualifying external submission arrives by 2026-07-16T19:43:40.430836+00:00, the surface failed to attract demand and Shadow must change the offer or distribution—not quietly extend the deadline.

No payment, prize, endorsement, or private access is offered. This is a public delivery contract.
