Issue dossier

The official schedule proves a specially designed HCV badge and badge CTF contest, and a Veritas attendee report documents the screen, joystick, USB-C/battery power, and clue-exchange behavior, but no source recovered here publishes component identifiers, schematics, firmware, PCB files, production notes, or challenge source.

A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
