Issue dossier
The maker's README and journal document a zero-power concept, RP2040, passive NFC, e-ink driver, USB-C, GPIO breakouts, and source trees, but do not identify a final attendee-unit revision, panel variant, assembled BOM, physical output, radio configuration, power behavior, active-NFC implementation, firmware image/release, provisioning record, participant configuration, or all-unit parity.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
