Issue dossier

The maker-owned 5-dc34-canary-badge repository contains a PlatformIO Arduino source tree matching the Canary's components and public behavior outline, but reviewed product material does not directly link a commit or branch to the sold SAO. Its public release page reports no releases, and no root license file was recovered. The sources do not establish a final installed firmware, source-to-unit mapping, pinned dependency state, algorithm/library version, calibration state, binary provenance, update/recovery policy, safe operating procedure, or support commitment.

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

The catalogue can cite the public source archive without presenting it as a finalized event release, validated VOC algorithm, supported update path, secure deployment, operating instruction, or a code/artwork/media reuse grant.

Volatile Organic Canary SAO

Lepi Labs' live Uberflux page names the DEF CON 34 drop, current $45 / 11-sold / zero-remaining state, sensor/display/controller/power claims, explicit novelty-only accuracy warning, VOC-index warmup statement, v1.0 revision notes, and remedy wording. Its product image has no stated reusable license or explicit permission basis.

Lepi Labs DC34 Canary KiCad and PlatformIO source archive

Lepi Labs' public repository is named 5-dc34-canary-badge and contains a KiCad board/schematic tree plus a PlatformIO Arduino source tree whose SGP40, SHT4x, ATtiny1616, display, CR2032, SAO, and UPDI references align with the maker's Canary listing. The product page does not directly link the repository, so it is retained as a maker-owned matching source trail rather than proof of final v1.0 or event-unit parity. No root license file was recovered.

lepi-labs/5-dc34-canary-badge

Public maker-owned source archive named for a DC34 Canary. Its KiCad and PlatformIO trees contain components and software-family references matching the first-party Canary listing, but the maker's product and announcement do not directly link a revision to the event artifact. It is source context, not a final firmware, production, delivery, calibration, support, or image-rights record.
