commit-pinned public firmware and hardware reference
The named badge partner's public MIT archive was initially committed August 12 and updated August 15. Its README documents the ESP32-S3 platform, CircuitPython 10.2.1 workflow, hardware reference, samples, and limitations; it is not an independent recipient ledger or manufacturing audit.

public badge source repository
A public repository under the organization named as the badge partner whose title matches the event and year. It is now populated with a public MIT code and documentation archive; the organizer announcement does not link it, so the source association remains bounded to the named partnership and matching project identity.
