#21 · Auto-create a Task Exchange task when a feature bounty is opened

Context

Bounties are GitLab issues. Tasks are reputation-currency items. Today they're disconnected. Wiring them together means contributors who find a bounty can also see it in task.irregulars.io with the points pre-set, and Task Exchange's escrow/reputation can layer on top of GitLab's tracking.

Acceptance criteria

• [ ] When the GitLab webhook receives Issue Hook with action open and label feature-request, create a corresponding task on Task Exchange
• [ ] Task title/body mirrors the GitLab issue; external_url points back to the issue
• [ ] Task difficulty derived from bounty: label tier (xs→micro, s→easy, m→medium, l→hard, xl→expert)
• [ ] Closing the issue closes the task (idempotent)
• [ ] Webhook is opt-in — feature flag ENABLE_BOUNTY_TASK_SYNC=1 (default off)

Technical hints

• Task Exchange already accepts external task creation — check apps/task-exchange/src/api/tasks.ts
• GitLab Issue Hook payload reference: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/integrations/webhook_events.html#issue-events
• Use ON CONFLICT (external_id) DO UPDATE for idempotency on the task table

--- *Submit a merge request that says Closes #<this issue iid> in the description. On merge to main, the GitLab webhook will auto-award your bounty + the standard merge_pr (40 pts) to your scoreboard account. Email on commit must match your Authentik email.*
