- Line 73: Update the Standard Terms reference so it points to the tagged
version recorded in Special Terms, or clearly instruct readers to use that
recorded version instead of following the mutable main branch.
- Around line 72-73: Update the compensation guidance to explicitly state how
hours on closed, cut, or rejected PRs are treated; the Standard Terms link alone
does not resolve this rule. Either add the exact rule to the Standard Terms and
link directly to that clause, or retain the explicit rule in this guide.

L202: 4. Subcontracting. The Contractor may not subcontract, delegate, or assign any part of the Services to any third party without the prior written approval of the Company. If approval is granted, the Contractor remains fully liable for all acts and omissions of any approved subcontractor as if they were the Contractor's own.
L203: Any approved subcontractor must be bound in writing by obligations at least equivalent to those imposed on the Contractor under this Agreement, including obligations relating to confidentiality, intellectual property, and data protection.
L204: 5. Audit Right. The Company may, on not less than 5 business days' written notice, request that the Contractor provide a copy of the trace log referred to in the Record-Keeping clause above, together with any supporting records (including PR histories, commit logs, time-stamped work records, and communications) for any period during the preceding 12 months. The Contractor must comply within the notice period.
L205: If an audit reveals that the Contractor has been paid for hours or deliverables not actually performed or delivered, the Contractor must repay the relevant amount to the Company within 14 days of written demand. This right does not limit any other remedy available to the Company.
L206: * * *
L207: ## Engagement Modes
L208: 1. Retainer. Where the Engagement Mode in the Special Terms is Retainer, the framework Agreement itself activates the engagement. No Work Order is required per task. The Contractor is available on an ongoing basis, picks up tasks assigned through the default GitHub channel, logs hours via PRs, and is paid monthly at the hourly rate in the Special Terms. Research and learning time is not paid unless pre-agreed in writing as part of task scoping.
L209: 2. Retainer — Monthly Hours Cap. Where a Monthly Hours Cap is specified in the Special Terms Rate Card, the Contractor may not bill hours in any calendar month that exceed that cap without prior written approval from an Authorised Issuer. Hours billed above the cap without such approval are not payable by the Company. Where no Monthly Hours Cap is specified in the Special Terms, no cap applies unless separately agreed in writing.
L210: 3. Project and Milestone. Where the Engagement Mode in the Special Terms is Project/Milestone, each discrete engagement requires a formal Work Order before work begins, as defined in the Work Orders section. Payment terms are defined per Work Order.
L211: * * *
L212: ## Work Orders
L213: 1. Applicability. Work Orders apply only to Project/Milestone engagements. Retainer contractors do not require Work Orders for individual tasks.
L214: 2. Definition. A Work Order is a written instruction issued by an Authorised Issuer that activates a specific Project or Milestone engagement under this framework Agreement. Each Work Order must specify: scope of work, payment type, applicable fee, deadline or milestone schedule, and acceptance criteria.
L224: ## Compensation
L225:
L226: 1. Payment Type. Payment is determined by the Engagement Mode in the Special Terms. Retainer engagements are paid at the hourly rate in the Special Terms. Project and Milestone engagements are paid at the fee defined in the relevant Work Order.
L227: 2. Retainer — Hourly. The Contractor submits hours billed using PRs. Holdex must approve all hours before payment. Research and learning time is not paid unless pre-agreed in writing as part of task scoping. Invoices are submitted at month-end for approved hours only.
L228:
L229: 3. Per-Project Fee. Payment is due on completion and written acceptance of the project deliverables by an Authorised Issuer, unless otherwise specified in the Work Order.
L230: 4. Milestone-Based Fee. Each milestone payment is due upon wr…[truncated]</excerpt>

`
An opening declares the participation form—employee, contractor, provider, vendor, maintainer, grantee, volunteer, governance candidate, sponsor prospect, auditor, or another versioned form. The protocol label does not override the real relationship or applicable law.
Anyone may offer recruiting, but payment requires an accepted, budget-capped order. Models may include fixed search, candidate-consented qualified introduction, selection, activation, or short bounded retention milestones. The baseline rejects application fees, payment for scraped profiles, hidden percentages of candidate compensation, and perpetual cuts of participant or seat revenue.
Every public opening preserves direct self-application. A recruiter cannot reserve a candidate merely by naming them first; the baseline attribution rule lets the candidate choose the recruiter. Identifying information is forwarded only through signed, purpose-specific consent, and disclosure expands only as the candidate advances.
Recruitment never requests an identity root key, BIP-39 phrase, message history, address book, unrelated blockchain address, advertising identifier, or covert behavioral profile. Rejected outcomes stay private, retention is bounded, and a separate opt-in is required for a future talent pool.
The destination authority remains unchanged. A recruiter cannot appoint a director, bind a group to a notary, authorize an app-store cohort, trust a registry issuer, or add a relay to a user's route. Automated ranking or selection requires a separately disclosed legal and risk profile, meaningful human accountability, correction, and appeal; hidden automated rejection is nonconforming.

<excerpt>citeturn0search1 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: today; For the full design and guarantees (atomicity, fail-closed posture, timeout semantics, late-approval handling), see Cedar HITL gates design doc. ... * Orchestration - `admission_rejected`, `hydration_started`, `hydration_complete` ... If your repo is wired to a deploy provider that publishes GitHub `deployment_status` events (Vercel, Amplify Hosting, Netlify, GitHub Actions custom CD, etc.), ABCA can capture a full-page screenshot of each preview URL and post it as an image comment on the open PR — and on the linked Linear issue if Linear is configured.
Error classifiers on terminal failure events provide a specific reason:
Classifier | Meaning
--- | ---
`error_max_turns` | Agent exhausted its turn limit without completing
`error_max_budget_usd` | Agent hit the cost budget ceiling
`error_during_execution` | Agent encountered a runtime error during execution
Event records follow the same 90-day retention as task records.
### Troubleshooting preflight failures
If a task fails with a `preflight_failed` event, the platform rejected the run before the agent started - no compute was consumed. Check the event's `reason` field to understand what went wrong:
* `GITHUB_UNREACHABLE` - The platform could not reach the GitHub API. Check network connectivity and GitHub status.
* `REPO_NOT_FOUND_OR_NO_ACCESS` - The GitHub PAT does not have access to the target repository, or the repo does not exist.
* `INSUFFICIENT_GITHUB_REPO_PERMISSIONS` - The PAT lacks the required permissions for the workflow. For `coding/new-task-v1` and `coding/pr-iteration-v1`, you need Contents (read/write) and Pull requests (read/write). </excerpt>

L15: ## Services
L16: 1. **Performance.** The Contractor will perform Services under the Engagement
L17: Mode specified in the Special Terms, professionally and on time.
L18: 2. **Changes.** For Project and Milestone engagements, the Company can request
L19: changes to a Work Order's scope if they stay within the original scope. If a
L20: change increases costs or time, both parties will agree in writing on fair
L21: adjustments to fees or deadlines before work continues. For Retainer
L22: engagements, task changes are managed through the default GitHub channel.
L23: 3. **Record-Keeping.** The Contractor is responsible for maintaining their own
L24: copy of a trace log of all Services provided, including dates, work completed,
L25: hours worked (if Retainer), milestones or project deliverables completed, and
L26: any relevant Work Order or task references. This log must be retained for the
L27: duration of the Agreement and for 1 year following its termination.
L28: 4. **Subcontracting.** The Contractor may not subcontract, delegate, or assign
L29: any part of the Services to any third party without the prior written approval
L30: of the Company. If approval is granted, the Contractor remains fully liable for
L31: all acts and omissions of any approved subcontractor as if they were the
L32: Contractor's own. Any approved subcontractor must be bound in writing by
L33: obligations at least equivalent to those imposed on the Contractor under this
L34: Agreement, including obligations relating to confidentiality, intellectual
L35: property, and data protection.
L36: 5. **Audit Right.** The Company may, on not less than 5 business days' written
L37: notice, request that the Contractor provide a copy of the trace log referred
L38: to in the Record-Keeping clause above, together with any supporting records (including PR histories,

Document the closed/cut PR rule explicitly.
The linked Standard Terms state that PR hours require approval and that only approved hours are invoiced. They do not state how hours on a closed, cut, or rejected PR are treated. This link does not resolve the requested dispute rule. Add the exact rule to the Standard Terms and link that clause, or retain the explicit rule in this guide.

Review comment at @docs/COMPENSATION.md around lines 72 - 73:
Update the compensation guidance to explicitly state how hours on closed, cut,
or rejected PRs are treated; the Standard Terms link alone does not resolve this
rule. Either add the exact rule to the Standard Terms and link directly to that
clause, or retain the explicit rule in this guide.
After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr
The Compensation Guide now points to the Standard Terms for how hours are paid, so an author who disputes a cut or a close can find the rule without it being restated here.
