Issue dossier
The organizer-provided CFP proves a separate speaker-colored electronic-badge allocation and paper-badge guest path, while Eventzilla markets an electronic badge and calls the student item a paper ticket. None of those sources identifies the electronic badge's board, maker, physical form, ticketed-recipient inventory, quantity, firmware, or source archive.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
