Dear Polkadot Community,

We’re excited to submit our proposal for retroactive funding of the JAM Knowledge Base Search Engine—an open-source platform designed to unify and simplify access to JAM-related knowledge scattered across different data sources. With multiple search options, it significantly reduces the time JAM developers spend hunting for information, captures historical context from discussions, and lowers onboarding barriers for the 20+ teams building in the JAM ecosystem.

Must be [`Config::SpendOrigin`] with the `Success` value being at least
`amount` of `asset_kind` in the native asset. The amount of `asset_kind` is converted
for assertion using the [`Config::BalanceConverter`].

## Details

Create an approved spend for transferring a specific `amount` of `asset_kind` to a
designated beneficiary. The spend must be claimed using the `payout` dispatchable within
the [`Config::PayoutPeriod`].

### Parameters
- `asset_kind`: An indicator of the specific asset class to be spent.
- `amount`: The amount to be transferred from the treasury to the `beneficiary`.
- `beneficiary`: The beneficiary of the spend.
- `valid_from`: The block number from which the spend can be claimed. It can refer to
  the past if the resulting spend has not yet expired according to the
  [`Config::PayoutPeriod`]. If `None`, the spend can be claimed immediately after
  approval.

## Events

Emits [`Event::AssetSpendApproved`] if successful.
