maker-described game software
The team says the CTF lives in firmware, is multi-stage and not solo-completable, uses real protocols, and unlocks backend pages through progress. No code, binary, challenge archive, protocol specification, endpoint, scoring system, access policy, data policy, or final running service is published in the reviewed sources.

Primary first-hand early project source for the stated second variant, interaction-first intent, planned drops, and first-year badge-project context. It is a pre-event teaser rather than a source repository, finished-artifact specification, stock record, fulfillment report, or image license.
