Is Gas Town 'stealing' users' LLM credits to improve itself

The claim is that gastown-release.formula.toml and beads-release.formula.toml, in their default installation state, review issues in upstream GasTown and appear to use the user's LLM credits and GitHub credentials to make PRs and releases.

The person raising the issue argues that this behavior is included as a default without explicit consent, and is not sufficiently disclosed anywhere in the README or public documentation.

Key claims:

• An installed GasTown instance performs work on github.com/steveyegge/gastown/actions, consuming costs in the process
• The agent tracks the maintainer's GitHub issues, does work to fix those issues, and has submitted PRs upstream
• What the user expected was automation of their own work, but in practice costs may be spent on work that fixes GasTown itself

In the comment thread, this drew a mix of jokes and criticism, with the discussion developing to include some people asking back whether there was actually an instance that fixed such a bug.

The core issue is the default scope of work for AI agent tools, cost attribution, and transparency.
