retrospective software provenance
July 2026 release surface
The repository's public releases visible in the reviewed source pass are dated July 2026, after the 2024 event. They establish a later public software trail without identifying software installed on any 2024 unit or a current supported operating path.
Badge: Retia DEF CON 32 Badge
retrospective source-provenance record
immutable source snapshot published after event
Retia's current repository name says DefconBadge2026, but its metadata calls the project a Retia 2024 DEF CON badge and the immutable first source-release commit/README explicitly say 2024. This records the source conflict and 2024 provenance without treating the repository label as a 2026 event association.
