End-to-end coverage of the bug bounty / verification flow shipped across Phases 1–4 (#251, #258, #262).

The flow under test

Tester files a bug
        ↓
Engineer fixes it  (status → fixed)
        ↓
Admin triages → picks verification path:
        │
        ├── standalone   → queues into a future verification cycle
        │                  (admin spins one up, optional bounty, optional auto-approve)
        │                  → another tester verifies → reporter payout + verifier bounty
        │
        ├── via_feature  → bug auto-attaches to any feature cycle
        │                  scoped to the matching label
        │
        └── none         → no re-test, payout auto-releases on triage

Scenario backlog

Status legend: □ untested · ✅ passing · ❌ failing · ⛔ blocked

Core flow

ID	Status	Title	Automated
`VERBO-001`	□	Tester files a bug on an active cycle	`tests/e2e/flows/testing/file-issue.spec.ts`
`VERBO-002`	□	Engineer moves bug from `triaged` → `fixed`	—
`VERBO-003`	□	Admin triages: picks `standalone` verification path	—
`VERBO-004`	□	Admin triages: picks `via_feature` + label	—
`VERBO-005`	□	Admin triages: picks `none` (no re-test)	—

Cycle creation

ID	Status	Title	Automated
`VERBO-006`	□	Create standard cycle	—
`VERBO-007`	□	Create verification cycle, no bounty	—
`VERBO-008`	□	Create verification cycle, with bounty, auto-approve OFF	—
`VERBO-009`	□	Create verification cycle, with bounty, auto-approve ON	—
`VERBO-010`	□	Create feature cycle with labels	—

Verification attempts

ID	Status	Title	Automated
`VERBO-011`	□	Verifier confirms fix (`verified` path)	—
`VERBO-012`	□	Verifier rejects fix (`still_broken` path → bug returns to triaged)	—
`VERBO-013`	□	Reporter cannot verify own bug (403)	—

Bounty math (the Phase 4 surface)

ID	Status	Title	Automated
`VERBO-014`	□	Auto-approve ON + bounty + verified → payout lands `approved`	`src/lib/test-cycles/verifier-payout.test.ts`
`VERBO-015`	□	Auto-approve OFF (default) → payout lands `pending`	`src/lib/test-cycles/verifier-payout.test.ts`
`VERBO-016`	□	`still_broken` never auto-approves (even with toggle on)	`src/lib/test-cycles/verifier-payout.test.ts`
`VERBO-017`	□	0/null bounty → payout lands `pending` regardless of toggle	`src/lib/test-cycles/verifier-payout.test.ts`

Payout cascades

ID	Status	Title	Automated
`VERBO-018`	□	`deferred` bug — payout releases like `verified`	—
`VERBO-019`	□	Negative-close (`duplicate`/`rejected`/etc.) flips pending payout to rejected	`src/lib/issue-payout.test.ts`
`VERBO-020`	□	Paid payout is immune to status-change auto-flips (needs explicit void)	`src/lib/issue-payout.test.ts`

Feature cycles

ID	Status	Title	Automated
`VERBO-021`	□	Feature cycle auto-attaches bug tagged `via_feature` with matching label	—
`VERBO-022`	□	Bug tagged `via_feature` BEFORE matching feature cycle exists — picks up when cycle is created	—
