Issue dossier

The diary documents prototype r1 testing, a discovered IMU power-pin error/high-draw investigation, screen mechanical interference, and expected changes; the repository describes later processor revisions and broad component plans. No reviewed source proves the exact final PCB/population, LED count, assembly quality, power profile, thermal behavior, sensor calibration, durability, production test result, or compliance record for sold units.

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