+# pn532final
+
+Repository placeholder for PN532 / ESP32 NFC research materials.
+
+## Stewardship Status
+
+- Gitea repository was empty during the 2026-05-20 stewardship pass.
+- README initialized so the repo has a clear landing page.
+- Keep tests limited to cards, readers, and environments you own or are explicitly authorized to evaluate.
+- Do not publish secrets, cardholder data, private dumps, keys, or live target captures.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Add hardware wiring, firmware source, build steps, known-safe test cards, license, and release notes before uploading code or binaries.
