Issue dossier

The store says pre-orders are closed and badges will be sold at DEF CON, while describing the party as free and the badge as optional. Gothcon and DEF CON 34 have not yet occurred at this source pass, so the listing does not confirm final build count, DEF CON sale availability, delivery, party attendance, or fundraiser outcome.

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