Issue dossier
The public repository preserves source files, firmware, photos, wiki links, and features, but this pass did not audit exact production-board revision, BOM state, manufacturing count, or whether every repository image maps to the distributed LCA2016 boards.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
