maker-described companion-app connection
The product page says configuration and messaging use the Meshtastic app over BLE and that each unit has its own BLE PIN printed on its bag. The catalogue does not store PINs, identify a pairing workflow, claim a privacy/security review, or describe shared mesh traffic as private.

maker firmware documentation
The reviewed build note identifies the source-published UF2/version, Meshtastic branch relationship, two SMAO configuration deltas, provisioning boundary, and first-flash constraint. It is not a universal update or safe modification procedure.

maker hardware documentation
The commit-pinned hardware README identifies board dimensions/layers, RAK4630, antenna/test, SAO/USB-C power, SWD, fab options, hand-populated parts, and public production artifacts. It does not constitute independent safety, compliance, or host-compatibility validation.

maker-controlled hardware, firmware, and tooling release
Boko (Darknet-NG)'s public repository identifies a Darknet SMAO for DEF CON 34 and publishes a v1.4 design, hardware/production tree, firmware, provisioning tools, tests, RF-tuning material, and MIT license text. It is a maker-controlled technical archive, not independent validation or a DEF CON organizer source.
