Issue dossier

The public source contains a README and native KiCad files, but its dated status document continues to list outstanding main-board, prototype-order, first-power-on, and firmware milestones. No reviewed source provides fabrication order records, board photographs with provenance, prototype report, build log, component procurement record, assembly/test result, release candidate, manufacturing run, shipping/pickup evidence, serial/revision log, or post-event confirmation.

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