Issue dossier
The project publishes source and describes it as current implementation, but the reviewed snapshot does not establish a tagged final release, compiled attendee image, device-specific configuration, reproducible build result, flashing/recovery path, dependency inventory, source license, security review, operational deployment, account/data handling, privacy notice, retention policy, update policy, or support commitment.
