Issue dossier
The recovered source trail documents a NodeMCU ESP8266 handmade badge and badge-hack contest, but this pass did not recover an official 2018 schematic, PCB, BOM, firmware repository, or direct organizer badge writeup.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
