Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability bounty-engineer-independent-pr-evidence-verifier-70dc4125 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before releasing the bounty payment, independently verify that https://github.com/acme-org/my-repo/pull/42 passes the 'ci/tests' and 'lint' checks, touches the paths 'src/core/' and 'tests/', and includes test changes.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an autonomous agent or bounty platform needs independent, tamper-resistant verification of a GitHub PR before releasing payment — especially when the verifier must be decoupled from the bounty issuer. Prefer it over manual review or webhook-based CI checks when you need cryptographically payable, auditable evidence collection that cannot be gamed by the PR author.

## Known failure modes

- PR URL is private or inaccessible — returns an error indicating the repository is not publicly reachable
- PR does not exist or URL is malformed — returns a validation error
- One or more required CI checks are pending or failed — returns ok: false with check-level detail
- Required file paths are not touched by the PR — returns ok: false with missing path detail
- GitHub API rate limits or connectivity issues cause a fetch failure
- Payment of $49.9 USDC is not completed — endpoint returns 402 Payment Required before execution

## How this service works

Machine-buyable infrastructure for autonomous agents: API cost routing, margin optimization, funding-rate data, webpage extraction, result verification, spend controls, retry planning, state, tender search and GitHub bounty intelligence.

## Output

Returns a JSON object confirming whether the PR meets all specified criteria, including CI check pass/fail status for each required check, coverage of required file paths, presence of test changes, and an overall ok/fail verdict indicating if the bounty conditions are satisfied.
