Issue dossier
The product page names a conditional DEFCON pickup window and the public roster lists Beelzebub as a new DEF CON 34 badge, but no reviewed source says DEF CON issued it, includes it with registration, grants access, replaces a Human badge, has organizer endorsement, is required for a village, or has verified venue authorization.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.

public AVR firmware source
Public 496-line `.ino` source defining four eye plus twenty wing LED arrays, ten named modes, a button, clock-labelled minibadge pins, and a 200 ms color update path. It is source-level behavior evidence, not a final shipped-firmware or support/release record.

public Badgelife self-submission roster
Public DEF CON 34 response identifying Beelzebub Minibadge Holder as a new $45 Badge entry, with ghoul.lol as maker link and `distinctm1nd/beelzebub_minibadge_holder` as project source. It is submitter-provided pre-event association, not official issuance, final delivery, source-license, or image-reuse proof.
Badge: Beelzebub Minibadge Holder (DEF CON 34)
public KiCad and BOM source tree
Public tree containing KiCad PCB/project/schematic files, a BOM workbook, and a `beelzebub_expansion_board_saintcon_2025_v2.zip` archive. The filename is lineage context only: it does not independently prove a 2025 distribution or identify a final 2026 production revision, safety validation, or fabrication license.
Badge: Beelzebub Minibadge Holder (DEF CON 34)
public hardware and firmware repository
Public distinctm1nd repository whose README describes an ATtiny 814, a three-pin Sneaky Connector, and a holder for five minibadges. Its visible hardware, firmware, and image directories support traceability, but the reviewed root does not visibly supply a LICENSE/COPYING grant or prove final DEF CON 34 production parity.
