Issue dossier
The official repository contains binary programming material, while the public archive has no GitHub release and calls v2.4.0 its first public refactored firmware release. Reviewed sources do not publish a versioned production release, secure update/recovery policy, official support owner, firmware signature status, or direct mapping between a physical 2025 unit and a source revision.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
