Adds proper backend support for multi-winner bounties — a real blocker for the FCFS use case. The schema design is solid (denormalized counters keep status derivation join-free), the status machine changes are correct, and the backward-compatibility path for legacy single-winner records is thorough.
What works well:
- D1 batch in
insertWinner()uses a conditionalINSERT … SELECTto atomically guard slot availability — the SQLite serialization means two concurrent accepts for the last slot will see one succeed and one get"conflict". Correct. bountyStatus()↔statusToSql()parity is intact across all six states (checked boundary arithmetic forpartially-filledandabandoned).- The migration backfill is clean —
winner_count,paid_count, andfully_accepted_atare set correctly for pre-023 rows, andbounty_winnersrows are backfilled sogetWinners()works uniformly. - Parallelizing
listSubmissionsForBountyandgetWinnersin the GET route is a nice improvement over sequential fetches. verifyPayoutTxidbackward-compatible extension (expectedAmountSats?,winnerAcceptedAt?) is clean — callers without these params get existing behavior.
[blocking] setWinnerPaid swallows UNIQUE violation → ok = false not handled in route (lib/bounty/d1-helpers.ts, app/api/bounties/[id]/paid/route.ts)
setWinnerPaid catches UNIQUE constraint failed and returns false:
} catch (e) {
if (String(e).includes("UNIQUE constraint failed")) return false;
throw e;
}But the calling route's catch (e) block — which returns txid_already_redeemed — only fires on thrown exceptions, not on false returns. The original setPaid let the UNIQUE violation propagate, so the route's catch was the exit path. Now that it's swallowed, ok = false for txid-reuse falls through to reserveTxid and the bounty.paid log event, returning a 200 with a fresh bounty that correctly shows the winner still unpaid (the batch rolled back). Clients get a confusing success response for a failed payment.
The fix: either keep the UNIQUE exception propagating (match the original contract), or add an explicit !ok guard before reserveTxid:
if (!ok) {
return NextResponse.json(
{ error: "txid_already_redeemed", message: "This canonical txid has already paid a winner." },
{ status: 409 }
);
}
// D1 committed — KV reservation is a best-effort pre-check for future requests.
try {
await reserveTxid(kv, verify.canonicalTxid, bounty.id);
[suggestion] N+1 in buildWinnersArray for winner submissions outside the first-page cache (app/api/bounties/[id]/route.ts)
for (const row of winnerRows) {
const sub = subMap.get(row.submissionId) ?? (await getSubmission(db, row.submissionId));submissions is limited to the first 20 records from listSubmissionsForBounty. If winners submitted as item 21+ (plausible on active bounties), each cache miss fires a separate DB round-trip. With MAX_WINNERS = 10, worst case is 10 sequential queries. A single IN (?) batch fetch for winner submission IDs would eliminate this:
// After getWinners(), fetch any missing submissions in one query:
const cachedIds = new Set(submissions.map((s) => s.id));
const missingIds = winnerRows.map((r) => r.submissionId).filter((id) => !cachedIds.has(id));
if (missingIds.length > 0) {
// getSubmissionsByIds(db, missingIds) — needs a new helper
}Not blocking on the first pass but worth a follow-up since this is the detail path for the bounty poster.
[suggestion] generateWinnerId duplicates generateSubmissionId exactly (lib/bounty/id.ts)
Both return identical output via identical implementations. If the format ever changes, they'll drift. Share the implementation:
function generateTimestampId(): string {
return `${Date.now().toString(36)}${crypto.randomUUID().replace(/-/g, "").slice(0, 12)}`;
}
export const generateBountyId = generateTimestampId;
export const generateSubmissionId = generateTimestampId;
export const generateWinnerId = generateTimestampId;
[nit] Migration backfill uses 'bw_' || lower(hex(randomblob(8))) for winner IDs; runtime uses generateWinnerId() (timestamp + UUID slice). Different formats for the same table's PK. Not a correctness issue but mildly inconsistent for debugging.
Code quality notes:
The insertWinner() result check if (inserted && updated) return "ok" is correct for D1 atomic batches — both statements read the same SQLite snapshot so they're guaranteed to agree. The "conflict" fallback on partial success is a safe dead-code guard.
The Math.floor(rewardSats / maxWinners) truncation is explicitly documented and the rounding loss is bounded (< maxWinners sats). The error message in txid-verify.ts now shows the division (1500 total / 3 winners) which helps posters understand the expected amount. Good.
Operational note:
We process bounty accept/paid cycles and the FCFS race is real — we've seen concurrent accept attempts on popular bounties. The insertWinner() batch guard handles this correctly for the slot-full case. The txid reuse path (blocking issue above) is the one race that matters for payment integrity. Our KV pre-check catches most reuse before reaching D1, but the D1 UNIQUE index is the durable guard — it must propagate to the caller.

Cycle 2: all three prior blocking/suggestion items are addressed. One new blocking issue found in setWinnerPaid.
What's fixed from cycle 1:
setWinnerPaidno longer catches UNIQUE violations — the comment explicitly documents the intent. Thecatch(e)in the route now correctly surfacestxid_already_redeemed. ✓buildWinnersArrayN+1 eliminated with thegetSubmissionsByIdsbatch query (IN (?)over missing winner submission IDs). ✓generateTimestampIdshared function consolidatesgenerateBountyId,generateSubmissionId,generateWinnerId— no more drift risk. ✓
[blocking] setWinnerPaid batch: paid_count increments even when winnerResult.changes = 0 (lib/bounty/d1-helpers.ts:451-473)
D1 batches are atomic but statements are not causally linked — statement 2 (increment paid_count) runs regardless of statement 1's changes count. Consider this race:
- Requests A and B both pass the
winnerRow.paidAtpre-check in the route (both readnull) - Request A's batch commits: winner row
paid_atset,paid_count0→1 - Request B's batch runs (SQLite serializes writes):
- Statement 1:
WHERE paid_at IS NULL→ 0 changes (A already set it) - Statement 2:
WHERE paid_count < max_winners→ 1 change (paid_count1→2, matchingmax_winners=2)
- Statement 1:
setWinnerPaid returns false (correctly), route returns 409. But paid_count is now = max_winners. bountyStatus() returns "paid". The second winner can never be paid — the bounty is permanently stuck in terminal paid state with one unpaid winner.
The fix: run sequentially so the bounty counter update only executes if the winner row update succeeds:
export async function setWinnerPaid(
db: D1Database,
bountyId: string,
submissionId: string,
paidTxid: string,
paidAt: string
): Promise<boolean> {
const payCutoff = new Date(Date.parse(paidAt) - PAY_GRACE_MS).toISOString();
// Do NOT catch UNIQUE constraint failures here — let them propagate.
// Update the winner row first; only increment the bounty counter if it succeeded.
const winnerResult = await db
.prepare(
`UPDATE bounty_winners
SET paid_txid = ?, paid_at = ?
WHERE bounty_id = ? AND submission_id = ? AND paid_at IS NULL`
)
.bind(paidTxid, paidAt, bountyId, submissionId)
.run();
if ((winnerResult.meta?.changes ?? 0) === 0) return false;
const bountyResult = await db
.prepare(
`UPDATE bounties
SET paid_count = paid_count + 1, updated_at = ?
WHERE id = ?
AND winner_count >= max_winners
AND paid_count < max_winners
AND cancelled_at IS NULL
AND fully_accepted_at > ?`
)
.bind(paidAt, bountyId, payCutoff)
.run();
return (bountyResult.meta?.changes ?? 0) > 0;
}Sequential execution loses the single round-trip but gains causal linking. The UNIQUE exception from statement 1 still propagates correctly to the route's catch(e) block since prepare().run() throws directly.
[nit] Migration backfill still uses 'bw_' || lower(hex(randomblob(8))) for winner row IDs; runtime uses generateWinnerId() (timestamp+UUID slice). Different PK formats for the same table. Not a correctness issue. (Unchanged from cycle 1.)
Performance / Composition / UI/Accessibility
All changed files are backend API routes and library modules — no React components, TSX, or CSS. React performance and accessibility rules don't apply here. Server-side highlight: the GET route now parallelizes listSubmissionsForBounty + getWinners with Promise.all() — a clean improvement over the sequential fetches it replaces.
Operational note:
We process bounty accept/paid cycles actively. The counter corruption requires two concurrent /paid requests for the same winner to slip through the already_paid pre-check — possible under concurrent load or a client that retries with a different txid. The impact is severe (bounty permanently stuck as "paid" with an unpaid winner), which is why it warrants a fix before merge.
Good progress on cycle 1 feedback — the txid-reuse path is now correct and the N+1 is gone. One atomicity issue left to resolve.

Cycle 3: the cycle 2 blocking issue is resolved. Approving.
What's fixed from cycle 2:
setWinnerPaidnow runs sequentially —winnerResult.meta.changesis checked before thepaid_countincrement fires. The code comment is explicit about why a D1 batch isn't safe here. ✓- UNIQUE violations on
bounty_winners.paid_txidpropagate correctly to the route'scatch(e)block, returningtxid_already_redeemed. ✓
[suggestion] Non-divisible rewardSats / maxWinners silently strands sats (lib/bounty/validation.ts, lib/bounty/d1-helpers.ts)
Math.floor(1000 / 3) = 333 sats per winner, 1 sat locked forever. The payment hint and txid verification both use the floored amount so the poster's wallet is 1 sat short of the promised total with no way to recover it. Consider adding a create-time validation:
if (data.maxWinners > 1 && data.rewardSats % data.maxWinners !== 0) {
errors.push({ field: 'rewardSats', message: `rewardSats (${data.rewardSats}) must be divisible by maxWinners (${data.maxWinners}) — floor division strands ${data.rewardSats % data.maxWinners} sats.` });
}Or document the floor behavior in the self-doc and in buildPaymentHint so callers know to use a divisible rewardSats.
[question] setWinnerPaid — grace-boundary race leaves paidAt set on winner row but paid_count not incremented (lib/bounty/d1-helpers.ts:451-473)
If the pay grace window expires in the narrow gap between the route's status check and winnerResult.run():
- Route passes
status === "winner-announced"✓ winnerResultsucceeds —paid_atis written tobounty_winnersbountyResultfails —fully_accepted_at > payCutoffguard now failssetWinnerPaidreturnsfalse→ route returns 409conflict
The winner's paid_at is now set in the join table (payment is real), but paid_count doesn't reflect it. bountyStatus() shows "abandoned" while GET /api/bounties/{id} shows the winner as paid. This is an extremely narrow race, but the resulting state is silently inconsistent. Worth a compensating log or comment so ops can detect it if it ever surfaces.
Performance / Composition / UI/Accessibility: N/A — no frontend changes.
Operational note: Arc has seen the old single-winner invalid_state: Cannot accept in status "winner-announced" error in production when attempting the FCFS flow. This PR fixes the root cause correctly.

Solid architecture. The denormalized counter approach keeps bountyStatus() and statusToSql() join-free, the batch-based insertWinner() guard is well-reasoned, and the sequential-write decision in setWinnerPaid() is exactly right (the comment explaining why the batch can't be used there is worth keeping). One blocking issue before this can merge, plus two suggestions.
[blocking] getSubmissionsByIds missing from lib/bounty/index.ts
app/api/bounties/[id]/route.ts imports getSubmissionsByIds from @/lib/bounty, but the function is not added to the export list in lib/bounty/index.ts. This is a compile error.
# lib/bounty/index.ts — add to the export block
getWinners,
getWinner,
getSubmission,
+ getSubmissionsByIds,
listSubmissionsForBounty,[suggestion] setWinnerPaid grace-boundary path returns false after a real payment
When winnerResult.changes > 0 (payment recorded) but bountyResult.changes === 0 (grace window expired mid-request), the function logs and returns false. The route treats !ok as a conflict and sends a 409. The caller retries; the retry hits already_paid (409) because winnerRow.paidAt is now set. The poster is stuck: payment is on-chain and in DB, but paid_count is permanently under-counted and there's no retry path that succeeds.
Two options:
- Return
truehere — the payment is real, the counter inconsistency is an ops problem (your reconciliation query is already documented). Callers should not be penalized for a grace-boundary race they can't control. - Add a reconciliation step: if
bountyResult.changes === 0, re-queryCOUNT(*) WHERE paid_at IS NOT NULLand setpaid_countinline before returning.
Option 1 is lower-risk for this PR. The console.error + ops query you documented is sufficient for reconciliation.
[suggestion] payments[] items don't carry submissionId
The error message on submission_id_required says "use the winners[] array to find the submissionId for each unpaid winner." That's correct, but payments[] — which is the structured hint the poster uses for payout — doesn't include the submissionId. A caller building the /paid body from payments[i] has to separately look up winners[j].submissionId by matching recipientStxAddress. Putting submissionId directly in BountyPaymentHint (and in buildPaymentHint) would make the payout flow self-contained.
Minor notes (no action required)
- The
insertWinnerbatch guard conditions are identical on INSERT and UPDATE. Because D1 batches run in a single transaction on the same snapshot, split results (INSERT=1, UPDATE=0) cannot occur in practice — the concern documented insetWinnerPaid's comment doesn't apply here. Worth a one-liner comment to close the loop. - Migration backfill logic is correct:
fully_accepted_at = accepted_atfor single-winner accepted rows covers the pay-grace timing for pre-023 rows. ✓ bountyStatus()fallback (b.winnerCount ?? (b.acceptedAt ? 1 : 0)) is safe for pre-migration rows sincerowToBountyalready nullish-coalesces to 0. ✓
Fix the export in index.ts and this is ready.

Adds first-class multi-winner support to the AIBTC bounty system. A
bounty poster can now specify maxWinners (1–10) at creation time; the
accept endpoint may then be called once per slot, and the paid endpoint
routes payment to a specific winner via submissionId.
- bounties.max_winners (default 1, backward compat)
- bounties.winner_count / paid_count — denorm counters, keep bountyStatus()
and statusToSql() join-free on list endpoints
- bounties.fully_accepted_at — when last slot filled (pay-grace anchor)
- bounty_winners join table — per-winner accepted_at / paid_txid / paid_at
- Backfills all existing accepted/paid rows automatically
- `partially-filled` — 0 < winnerCount < maxWinners, within accept grace
open → judging → partially-filled → winner-announced → paid
↓ (past grace)
abandoned
- POST /api/bounties: accepts optional maxWinners (1–10, default 1).
rewardSats is the total pot; each winner receives rewardSats/maxWinners.
- POST /api/bounties/[id]/accept: now allows partially-filled status.
Returns `winnerCount`/`maxWinners` in error responses for diagnostics.
- POST /api/bounties/[id]/paid: accepts optional submissionId to route
payment to a specific winner (required when maxWinners > 1). Amount
validation uses per-slot amount (rewardSats / maxWinners). Signature
format unchanged (backward compat).
- GET /api/bounties/[id]: returns winners[] array and payments[] array.
Singular winner/payment fields kept for backward compat.
- Multi-winner accept: insertWinner() checks winner_count < max_winners
(replaces the single-winner accepted_at IS NULL guard)
- Per-slot payment: amount >= rewardSats / maxWinners instead of full pot
- No reopen needed: partially-filled bounties stay open for more accepts

No platform reason to cap at 10. MAX_WINNERS kept at 1000 as a malformed-input guard only. Validation hint updated accordingly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…p id generators - setWinnerPaid: remove try/catch so UNIQUE violations on paid_txid propagate to the /paid route's existing catch block, which already returns txid_already_redeemed (409). Previously the swallowed return-false sent the wrong error message to the caller. - getSubmissionsByIds: add batch IN (?) helper to d1-helpers and update buildWinnersArray to collect all missing winner submission IDs then fetch in one query. Eliminates the N+1 sequential getSubmission calls when winners submitted outside the first-page cache (listSubmissionsForBounty caps at 20). - id.ts: extract generateTimestampId() as shared private impl; all three public generators (generateBountyId, generateSubmissionId, generateWinnerId) are now aliases so the format is defined exactly once.

D1 batches are atomic but statements are not causally linked. In the previous implementation, if two concurrent /paid requests both passed the winnerRow.paidAt pre-check, the second request's batch could see stmt1 get 0 changes (paid_at already set by the first) while stmt2 still satisfied paid_count < max_winners and incremented paid_count beyond the actual paid winner count — permanently locking the bounty in terminal "paid" state with an unpaid winner. Fix: split the batch into two sequential .run() calls. Check winnerResult.changes before issuing the bounty counter update. paid_count now only increments when this request actually claimed the winner row. UNIQUE violations on paid_txid still propagate directly to the route's catch(e) block (txid_already_redeemed). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… backfill Migration backfill uses 'bw_' || lower(hex(randomblob(8))) (pure SQL, available at migration time) while generateWinnerId() produces a base36-ms-timestamp + 12-char UUID slice. Both are unique and opaque to callers; the comment explains the discrepancy so it doesn't look like a bug when debugging pre-023 rows. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…istency log [suggestion] rewardSats divisibility check — add create-time validation that rejects rewardSats values not evenly divisible by maxWinners. Floor division silently strands the remainder sats with no recovery path. Error message includes the stranded amount and suggests the nearest divisible values. Also updated self-doc to document the divisibility requirement. [question] grace-boundary inconsistency in setWinnerPaid — when the pay grace window expires between the route's status check and the DB write, winnerResult can succeed (paid_at written) while bountyResult fails (fully_accepted_at guard). This leaves paid_count under-counted while the winner row shows paid. Added a console.error with full context and the manual reconciliation query so ops can detect and recover from this narrow race.

Problem
The bounty system exposes a multi-winner UI (
3 winners, 500 sats each — FCFS) but has no backend support for it. Two hard blockers:POST /acceptis single-winner only.setAccepted()usesAND accepted_at IS NULL— once one winner is accepted, all subsequent calls returninvalid_state: Cannot accept in status "winner-announced". No way to accept a second or third winner.POST /paidvalidates against the fullrewardSatstotal. A 1500-sat bounty with 3 winners validates each 500-sat payment asAMOUNT_TOO_LOW. No path to pay per-slot.There is also no poster-update endpoint, but that is scoped to a follow-up PR.
