Issue dossier
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
The record does not transform source component claims into an electrical-safety endorsement, battery-service procedure, or sanctioned repair/modification instruction.
Evidence
Public source repository for the Gothcon 2026 badge firmware, flashing tooling, tests, and hardware directories. The visible repository root has no LICENSE file, so public access is not treated as a reuse license for code, hardware, documentation, or images.
Primary repository documentation for the ESP32-C3, 44 WS2812B LEDs, GPIO map, pattern/palette control, ESP-NOW contagion behavior/opt-out, MicroPython runtime, host tool prerequisites, and firmware/application flash/deploy workflows.
Public repository tree containing KiCad project, PCB, schematic, Gerbers, and production folders. No explicit repository license was identified, and no repository image is reused locally.
Official Gothcon Badge Store listing for the $80 Gothcon 2026 Blinky Badge, party-fundraiser relationship, free-party/non-ticket boundary, pre-order/DEF CON sales terms, published hardware/package contents, ESP32-C3/4 MB statement, mirrored-SAO limitation, and no reusable-image permission.
Source trail
Primary firmware and operating source for the 44-LED/ESP32-C3/GPIO mapping, patterns, palettes, ESP-NOW contagion behavior and opt-out, MicroPython runtime, flashing/deployment, tests, and host tooling. Embedded Imgur media is evidence only and lacks a reusable-image license or permission basis.
Primary public archive source proving a KiCad project, schematic, PCB, Gerbers, and production folders. The reviewed repository root has no explicit LICENSE file, so it does not establish reuse rights or a final manufactured-board configuration.
Primary organizer storefront source for the Gothcon party setting and August 8 date, $80 fundraiser/non-ticket terms, pre-order closure and DEF CON sale statement, custom bat-PCB/44-LED/LiPo/USB-C/acrylic/lanyard/ESP32-C3 hardware claims, package contents, and mirrored-SAO limitation. It does not grant reusable image permission or prove final sales, delivery, or electrical safety.
