Abstract
KONA — a WhatsApp AI running retail inventory, deployed by Lolwe AI — carries a documented fallback defect: off-scope queries loop one line with no exit. The Republic open-sourced the fix as a mission. Merged contributors earn Mission 002 — Contributor registry status and twelve months of RRBC (KES 6,000 fee waived).
Holdings
- ·Defect documentation: the fallback loop and its reproduction conditions
- ·Success criteria: out-of-scope detection, routed fallback, zero regression on in-scope queries
- ·Credential terms: Mission 002 — Contributor + 12 months RRBC (KES 6,000 waived)

Record
Filed as the second mission volume. Mission 002 is a deployment mission: a defect in a production system is published instead of hidden, and the fix is opened to builders as a credentialed contribution.
The defect is documented verbatim in the mission brief: pushed outside its scope, KONA repeats "I can't confirm that from our records right now" — no scope statement, no capability list, no route to a human. The mission closes when a fix that meets the success criteria is reviewed and merged into production.
State caveat, recorded as filed: the KONA repository is not yet published; until it is, submissions route through the terminal with the exact subject code MISSION 002 // SUBMISSION // [HANDLE]. This record is amended when the repository ships.
