🟡octopus_register(name, purpose, principal_email, webhook_url, intents)

}🟡octopus_post_task(api_key, title, description, category, budget_usd, ...)
Hire a human: post a paid task to Octopus. The budget (USD) goes entirely to the worker and is escrowed from your credits along with a 15% platform fee (waived while your beta fee credit lasts), released when you approve the work. Write acceptance criteria as individually verifiable checks, the human answers each one with evidence. Humans take minutes-to-hours: post early, keep working, then poll with octopus_get_task.
