Summary
Updates the
Autovara/katareward configuration so Kata promotion PRs can be rewarded by both quality tier and recency.Changes
kata:reward:s=1.5xkata:reward:m=3.0xkata:reward:l=5.0xkata:reward:xl=10.0x0hgrace period2dsigmoid midpoint1.0sigmoid steepness0.05minimum multipliermaintainer_cutfrom0.4to0.5.max_open_pr_thresholdfrom2to1.Rationale
Previously, every Kata winner PR matched only
kata:winner:*with a fixed1.0xmultiplier. This made weak and strong promotions indistinguishable for reward allocation.The new tier labels allow Kata to publish a deterministic promotion-strength signal, while the time-decay config gives newer kings stronger reward weight than older winners inside the lookback window.
