Issue dossier

No Cobalt DC34 Badge image is published because the current public source trail has not been paired with a reusable original badge or artifact photo or official upstream raster render with source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.

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

Public trueControl repository for Cobalt DC34. Its description calls it a RP2040-driven badge, and its committed source tree includes firmware and a schematic directory. Public availability is evidence of an archive, not a reusable-image or broad source-license grant.
