Recommend partial bounty payout for Fuzzball single-binary work

Situation

Recommended paying out half of the originally established bounty to the team members who completed the Fuzzball single-binary work. Want to use bounties as a repeatable, low-friction model across engineering and ensure all of engineering knows about the payout.

Reasoning

The work was completed and deserves recognition. Using partial bounty rather than full suggests scope or completion criteria differed from original. Key goal is establishing bounties as a credible, repeatable incentive model - public visibility of payouts builds trust in the system and attracts future participation. Good incentives attract desired behavior naturally.

Additional Context

Fuzzball single-binary work completed (shows in TPS report as done). Discussion with Greg and Chris about who should receive bounty and amount. Peter wants low friction model that can be used in different places.

Observed Evidence

Slack messages: "These are the folks Greg that wed like to give a partial bounty to. Id recommend we pay out half of the bounty we first established." and "For this audience - Im very much in support." and "Bounty... so I dont think its an OPA. I want to be able to use this model in different places with low friction" and "And I want to make sure all of engineering knows this was done"
