CircleLock reports 411 tests passing without a board attached; hardware bring-up is still next.

Field notes

The counter-drone capstone describes both onboard target tracking and sensor feeds merged into a track for the onboard seeker; the page says real-footage results are reported separately from synthetic renders. For CircleLock, the phone signs an offline challenge in its Secure Enclave, while the cloud can relay a command but does not decide whether the door opens. The page says the hardware has not yet reached bring-up.
