Issue dossier
A public repository provides concrete project documentation, but it does not establish a final manufactured unit, completed assembly, quantity, price, purchaser or attendee allocation, sale, giveaway, pickup, shipment, receipt, support, replacement, or a completed event handoff. A GitHub account name is recorded only as source attribution and is not treated as proof of a person, team, organizer, or party role.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
