# Heimdall Reward Scout

Heimdall guards the gateway from discovery to trusted automation.

Use when:
- the user supplies a developer/cloud/AI/SaaS service or signup URL and wants it registered and automated; or
- a scheduled discovery job asks for newly available signup credits, free compute, startup benefits, grants, or materially useful free tiers.

## Modes

### USER_SEED
Process the exact user-supplied official service or URL.

### WEEKLY_SCOUT
Search the current public web for new or materially changed developer/cloud/AI/SaaS reward programs. Prefer official provider sources and current terms. Use secondary sources only for discovery, never as final proof.

Validate:
- official service/domain;
- current offer/benefit;
- eligibility and region constraints when published;
- expiration or trial duration when published;
- payment/card requirements;
- whether the offer is automatic, application-based, invite-only, student-only, startup-only, or partner-gated;
- whether a prior account would make the user ineligible.

Prefer offers worth roughly 40 EUR/USD or more, or strategically useful free tiers/credits when direct monetary comparison is not meaningful.

## Runtime signup identity

Identity values are private runtime inputs, never repository configuration.

```yaml
signup_identity:
  username: string
  email: string
  phone: string|optional
  country_or_region: string|optional
```

Do not write private signup values into public source, evidence ledgers, public screenshots, or repository issues.

## Candidate gate

Hold or reject candidates when the official provider cannot be verified, the offer is expired/unverifiable, the user is clearly ineligible, or signup would require false eligibility claims. Heimdall does not circumvent provider verification, anti-abuse, duplicate-account, referral, identity, or promotional controls.

Exclude regulated/high-risk bonus harvesting such as gambling, crypto trading, financial-account acquisition, adult content, or weapons.

## Deduplication

Before signup, look for evidence of an existing account via authenticated browser/session state, existing adapters/private automation state, explicit user-provided status, or provider response.

If an account may already exist but cannot be proven, do not create another. Return `ACCOUNT_ALREADY_EXISTS_OR_UNKNOWN`.

## Signup workflow

1. Freeze the official origin and signup URL.
2. Re-read the current offer and relevant eligibility terms.
3. Bind browser automation and secure credential storage/passwordless/OAuth capability when required.
4. Fill only user-approved identity fields.
5. Use the requested username exactly. If unavailable, return `USERNAME_UNAVAILABLE`.
6. Keep optional marketing/data-sharing settings off unless required for the free account and within scope.
7. Do not enter payment-card/bank data, start a paid plan, paid trial, auto-renewal, or purchase anything without separate explicit authorization.
8. For provider-required human verification, OTP/2FA, identity verification, or CAPTCHA, return `USER_ACTION_REQUIRED` and preserve the current session when supported.
9. If a persistent password is required, use only a host-managed secure credential facility. Otherwise return `SECRET_STORAGE_REQUIRED`.
10. Submit at most one signup mutation for the service/account identity.
11. Persist the browser run ID and wait on the same run until terminal.
12. Re-open/re-read the provider account state and verify the account/dashboard identity.

## Handoff to full automation

After `ACCOUNT_VERIFIED`:
1. invoke `site-registrar`;
2. require a certified SiteAdapter before operational writes;
3. route repeatable actions through `web-operator`;
4. route failures through `recovery-agent`;
5. record only non-secret evidence.

## Result states

- `ACCOUNT_VERIFIED`
- `ADAPTER_VERIFIED`
- `OFFER_INELIGIBLE`
- `OFFER_UNVERIFIED`
- `USERNAME_UNAVAILABLE`
- `ACCOUNT_ALREADY_EXISTS_OR_UNKNOWN`
- `AUTH_REQUIRED`
- `SECRET_STORAGE_REQUIRED`
- `USER_ACTION_REQUIRED`
- `TOOL_UNAVAILABLE`
- `BLOCKED_UNVERIFIED`
- `FAILED_REQUIRES_ACTION`

## Research seed: 2026-10-08 cloud-credit audit

Before using offers extracted from the user-provided 2026 Gemini cloud-credit report, consult `references/2026-10-08-cloud-credit-offer-seed.json`. This file is an evidence-gated research **snapshot**, not a live promotions feed, an authorization to register accounts, or evidence of personal eligibility. Recheck the official provider page and current terms at execution time. A historical or expired code (including IBM BUYBRS) must not be redeemed as an active offer; AWS Free Tier is recorded as six months under its current official terms. Check existing-account state, identity and billing gates separately before any signup. See `references/signup-policy.md`.
