configuration caveat

Hard-coded Wi-Fi configuration

The README says Wi-Fi settings are hard-coded and must be updated in wifi.h before building the watch firmware.

Kernelcon 2022 Watch Badge note

hardware-detail caveat · repository audit · needs deeper source recovery

The public 2022 source trail is strong for firmware and flashing workflow but does not expose a complete final schematic, BOM, badge photo provenance, or distribution writeup.

The catalogue avoids unsupported claims about exact PCB assembly and distribution while preserving the source-backed ESP8266 watch firmware record.

missing rights-cleared image · local project policy · open

No Kernelcon 2022 watch-badge image is published because no specific documentary photo or official render has complete source, license, attribution, and processing provenance in this pass.

The record uses firmware evidence but leaves the visual slot empty.
