Issue dossier

The official maker page explicitly calls Clip-Boy the unofficial DEF CON 34 electronic badge and offers a DEF CON pickup option. It does not identify the maker as a DEF CON organizer, say Clip-Boy is included with registration, provide access to DEF CON, replace a DEF CON Human badge, or establish official support/endorsement.

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