Add a paid design-partner pilot - #29

Summary

• publish a three-slot, 7-day paid compatibility check for one deterministic OpenAI Agents Runner contract
• set the founding price to USD 20 and cap delivery at 90 engineering minutes
• limit the check to an existing AgentRunProof contract shape, two preverified SDK pins, copyable customer-owned CI commands, and a short report
• offer an optional USD 20/month continuation capped at 30 minutes for one rerun of the same frozen contract
• add a secret-safe public intake form without changing runtime code

Validation

Exact head: 7ddd348

• local: 185 passed
• local: Ruff check and format check passed; mypy passed
• local: wheel and sdist built successfully; twine strict checks passed
• local: issue-form YAML and git diff --check passed
• hosted: all 21 current-head checks passed, including 15 Python/SDK cells, package and isolated-install checks, three canonical evidence jobs, and CodeQL

Commercial interpretation

A paid pilot plus one paid continuation is only a low-friction paid-demand signal at this founding price. It does not establish sustainable pricing or labor economics. Bespoke adapters, root-cause investigations, application patches, upstream fixes, private-repository access, and automatic renewal are excluded.

Publication boundary

The fixed offer may be published before a payment processor is chosen. No prospect message, payment acceptance, refund promise execution, private coordination, or customer commitment is made until the exact target, text, payment/refund route, and scope are confirmed.
