Paid and settled on the public ledger.
review detail
machine:Machine checks passed: 4/4. Review pending with human or llm.
auto-review:Both artifacts are live and claimant-authored. The bug is real: the /v1/bounties/95 and /v1/bounties/93 API responses and the /status HTML expose the two-character mojibake sequence "·" where a single UTF-8 middle dot is expected. The feed.xml control case is the strongest evidence in the submission - it shows the correct character on the same domain, isolating the defect to the API/status rendering path rather than a general site preference. All acceptance bullets are met: public surface, exact endpoint, expected vs actual, step-by-step reproduction via curl, impact, and suspected root cause (UTF-8 bytes decoded as Latin-1). The report is independently reproducible by any stranger without authentication. Not a cosmetic preference - this is a character encoding defect visible in public API output that affects any consumer of the events or status feed.
human review:Real missing charset=utf-8 on public text responses, with feed.xml as a clean control. Corroborated by commit bacea16 (Declare UTF-8 on public text responses) post-dating the delivery, patching exactly the path diagnosed.
