note
No BornHack 2019 badge image is published because the current source trail has not been paired with a reusable original badge photo or official upstream raster render with source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying repository diagrams, documentation screenshots, event media, attendee photos, placeholders, or generated approximations.
