Issue dossier

The current public trail names a planned MK.II badge and desired improvements, while the live PhreakNIC site currently promotes preregistration and challenge coins rather than PN27 badge specifications. No dedicated PN27 repository, schematic, BOM, firmware tree, attendee guide, station code, production note, or final event schedule entry has been recovered.

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