i want to work on this , how can i start contribution ?

Hi, I opened a PR for the ART-E agent task: https://github.com/OpenPipe/ART/pull/679 It adds a lightweight local ART-E email search example with deterministic scenarios, rollout loop, training entrypoint, and tests. Could you confirm whether this fits the bounty scope?

/attempt I’m interested in the ART-E / ART bounty. I saw that the easy scope is described as an ART-E agent task, and the hard scope is 2-way portability between ART and verifiers. Before I start, can you confirm whether new easy-scope PRs are still being considered, or whether the current open PR already covers that part? If still open, I can keep the deliverable focused: a small reproducible example, deterministic task setup, tests, and clear README/run instructions.

/attempt I can take a scoped first pass on ART-E / ART before any costly run. I built a no-spend proof for review: https://gist.github.com/hirethomas-ai/31612778a41d164b7a3b7669199269be. It validates the ART and art-notebooks commits, parses both ART-E notebooks, checks the LangGraph email-task signals, and flags one missing README benchmark path. Local pytest passed 4 tests on 2026-05-25. Proposed deliverable: reproducibility smoke test, README or benchmark path fix, then an adapter contract for the ART <-> verifier portability track if wanted. Contact: hirethomas.ai@proton.me
