Issue dossier

Official Open Sauce pages establish the event but do not directly link the Caleb Marting or putnam repositories. Those public archives independently and specifically identify the 2026 Open Sauce badge, physical modules, and event hacking, but they do not demonstrate that Open Sauce controlled their publication, approved every current source change, or declared a standard attendee-credential policy.

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