Issue dossier

The repository says people replaying the CTF at home can flash a Raspberry Pi Pico 2, but boards different from the CTF PCB need an LED on GPIO 25 and one challenge may require a debug probe and cable.

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

The record distinguishes the conference CTF BADge from compatible at-home replay boards and preserves the hardware-debugging requirement without overstating universal compatibility.
