Issue dossier

The reviewed official sources publish feature, assembly, API, app, and model-link material, but this pass did not recover a complete, separately versioned 2026 package of final frontboard PCB layout, schematic, BOM, Gerbers, manufacturing files, firmware build/release instructions, and explicit license terms. The public base-platform software repository is therefore tracked as context rather than promoted to a complete Spaceagon release archive.

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

2026 hardware archive and release-scope gap · official source review · public operational documentation; complete release archive not recovered

Readers can use the documented upgrade and programming surface without assuming full hardware reproducibility, a specific final firmware version, redistribution rights, or that any public moving branch precisely matches every 2026 shipped kit.
