Issue dossier
The recovered source trail proves an assembled Ruxcon 2017 HHV badge, UART adapter requirement, ESP8266/NodeMCU firmware, and challenge behavior, but this pass did not recover schematic, PCB files, BOM, manufacturing count, or exact board revision.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.

hardware archive gap · source-backed but incomplete · needs schematic or PCB archive
The record keeps component claims to ESP8266/NodeMCU evidence and avoids unsupported board-layout or production-run detail.
