README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md currently give different instructions for the email address to use when claiming an accepted reward.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open README.md and read the Rewards section.
- Open CONTRIBUTING.md and read the Claiming a Reward section.
- Compare the claim-email wording.
Actual result:
- README.md says to email
bugs@apn.tech "from the address tied to your report".
- CONTRIBUTING.md says to email
bugs@apn.tech "from the email address registered to your GitHub account".
Expected result:
Both files should describe the same claim-email requirement, so reporters know exactly which address will be accepted before they file or claim a reward.
Why this matters:
For GitHub issues, the reporter email is not visible in the issue itself. A reporter following README.md can reasonably interpret "address tied to your report" differently from the GitHub-account requirement in CONTRIBUTING.md. That creates a small but real claim-flow ambiguity after a reward label is attached.
Context:
This looks like a regression/partial drift after the earlier clarification work in #28, where CONTRIBUTING.md was updated to use the GitHub-account wording, but README.md still uses the older "address tied to your report" wording.
Suggested fix:
Update README.md to match CONTRIBUTING.md, or explicitly split the two flows if direct /bug reports and GitHub issue reports intentionally use different claim-email rules.
