Issue dossier

SecretCon 2026 ran June 4-5, and the FAQ describes a registration-desk redemption path. A public repository description calls the convention's devices owl badges, while its June 6 README says it exists for SecretCon 26 attendees. That is limited community post-event corroboration, but the recovered sources do not document final inventory, recipient scope, production run, individual pickup completion, shipping, support, or whether the Digital / Circuit and Extreme tiers carried different physical badge variants.

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

post-event fulfillment and ticket-tier relationship gap · official registration and FAQ plus commit-pinned attendee community record · event passed; community badge context published, individual handoff unverified

This remains an official advertised ticket-tier artifact record with a bounded community post-event signal, not a claim that every buyer received a particular board, that owl badges map to a specific tier, that tiers were technically distinct, or that fulfillment succeeded.
