Issue dossier
The sponsor call says people were still talking about the previous year's electronic badges before describing what is new in 2026. It does not explicitly say that the planned 2026 badge is electronic or reuses a previous design, and no technical 2026 badge archive was recovered.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
