Issue dossier
The README names an ESP32-C3, ST7789 display, touch controller address, and no-button interaction, but does not establish the exact module, display/touch variants, PCB, schematic, BOM, Gerbers, antenna, battery, charging, USB, voltage/current limits, power budget, connector mapping, touch calibration, enclosure, dimensions, test data, safety guidance, compliance, or interoperability matrix.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
