Issue dossier
The public trail proves a custom hackable electronic shield badge, all-attendee distribution, design credit, and broad programming/flash/test activity, but it does not expose a controller identifier, component list, schematic, BOM, PCB files, power details, stock firmware, binary, source repository, challenge implementation, or reuse license.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
