Issue dossier
The official badge page says attendees could choose whether to accept and carry conference RFID badges, while the programme chairs confirm the conference occurred. Neither source provides passive-tag quantity, recipient list, serial allocation, physical-tag dimensions or medium, final artwork, handoff record, replacement policy, photo evidence, or a statement that the tag granted admission or access.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.

allocation, physical form, and credential boundary · official badge and post-event programme sources · passive artifact documented; handoff and format unresolved
The record remains a documented passive conference artifact rather than an unsupported claim about every attendee, a specific physical format, identity credential, venue access, or completed fulfillment.
