Notes

Official README, assembly guide, 3D-model index, MIT license and current repository state rechecked at source commit 479b852055ee31c6611b50ff1d67851e9b29ee4a on 2026-10-26. It remains draft because the exact passive heatsink and thermal-pad specifications are not stated, and keyboard/base-unit contents vary by version.
