Issue dossier
The official festival page says every accepted attendee gets a hardware badge at registration and finishes a small soldering step, but the reviewed public sources do not provide an attendee list, unit count, on-site registration ledger, completed distribution report, assembly completion rate, final kit contents, replacement policy, or post-event fulfillment record.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
