Issue dossier
The seller distinguishes passive shipped behavior from an optional research build, and identifies ESP32 Marauder as a tooling base, but no public source reviewed here is a final Clip-Boy firmware repository or release. The shop repository is frontend/store code and GitHub reports no detected license for it or the named fork; no final binary, source revision, flash process, dependency list, update/recovery plan, compatibility matrix, support policy, or license grant is identified.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
