  • docs: rename board/export filenames from PentaBuzzer to BlueBuzzah v3 Update the BOM, CPL, and .step links in Part 1 and Part 7 to the renamed BlueBuzzah_v3 files, and drop the "ignore the filename" explainer notes.

  • docs: correct build to solder-free (friction-fit wire plug) The tactor's wire-to-LRA connection is a friction fit made by the printed wire plug (Part 4, Step 2), not a solder joint. Rework Part 3 into wire-lead prep, reword Part 4's "tinned wires" to bare, move the per-tactor buzz-test to Part 4, drop the soldering tools/consumables, and add an optional wire-tinning note. Update every "only soldering" claim across the wiki to "no soldering."

  • docs: remove v2 build PDF and video links, fix Home heading Drop the earlier-generation build video links (Home, Introduction) and the v2 build PDF link sections (Home "Earlier Hardware", Parts and Tools List "If you have earlier-generation hardware"). Keep v2 context that steers v3 builders away from mistakes: batch-flashing generations warning, the old ABS case is not a substitute, the earlier cost figure does not carry over, and the thumb channel note. Convert the Home subtitle from bold text to a heading (MD036).

  • docs: document the required BLE antennas The XIAO ESP32-S3's IPEX/U.FL antenna is not part of the PCB assembly and had no line in the BOM or build guide. BLE carries both the app connection and glove-to-glove bilateral sync, so the device does not work as intended without one fitted per board. Add the antenna to the parts list, add fitting it as a step before the Part 2 smoke test (BuzzahBuddy pairing needs it to find the boards), note it as an enclosure requirement, and mention it in the Overview's stage summary.

  • docs: fix Overview springs classification and lead-time wording Springs are separately-sourced hardware, not one of Part 4's seven printed pieces (wire plug was mistakenly swapped for springs). Also soften the Part 1 lead-time claim to what the page actually delivers - cost figures and confirmation that fabrication is the long pole, not a duration estimate.

  • docs: add Overview of the Build page Closes the gap where the nine build parts were listed by title only, with no explanation of what each stage involves, why testing is front-loaded before irreversible assembly steps, or which steps gate which. Wired into Home, the sidebar, and the linear Next/Previous footer chain between Why We Use Spring Tactors and Part 1.

  • Resolve three hardware-verification items: charging, battery spec, LRA polarity - Charging: confirmed, states as fact (XIAO onboard charger over USB-C) - Battery: PKCELL LP552035, 350 mAh, 3.7V LiPo, qty 2 confirmed - LRA polarity: corrected — polarity does not matter for the LRA, but tactors should be wired consistently for easier troubleshooting. VLV101040A part number and 250 Hz resonant frequency confirmed as-is. - Build-Status: needs-hardware-verification table cleared of resolved rows

  • docs: convert emoji callouts to GitHub markdown alerts Replace emoji-prefixed blockquotes (🚧 📷 ⚠️) with native GitHub alert syntax ([!NOTE], [!IMPORTANT], [!WARNING], [!CAUTION]) across the wiki. The alert renders its own icon and colour, so the emoji is dropped from inside the blocks; Build-Status.md's three section heading emoji are left as-is since they're the status tracker's scannable taxonomy, not callouts.

  • Remove serial/PlatformIO instructions, route verification through the app All device-updating documentation now references only the BlueBuzzah Updater desktop app, per the owner's directive. Every serial-terminal step (MOTOR_DIAG, MOTOR_TEST:<n>, MOTOR_PRESENT, SET_ROLE typed over serial, 115200 baud connections) and the PlatformIO alternative-flash section are gone. Per-finger verification gates are preserved through BuzzahBuddy's Calibration screen instead of being dropped: it exposes ten labelled finger buttons (five per glove) once both boards are flashed, role-assigned, and paired, so tapping a named button and feeling the matching fingertip buzz is a direct, arguably stronger check than the old numeric MOTOR_TEST/MOTOR_DIAG commands. Part 2's smoke test now requires both boards to reach that point, which also becomes the earliest confirmation that bilateral pairing works. Advanced serial/PlatformIO tooling is pointed to the firmware repo from Part 2 only, per the owner's request not to document it here.

  • docs: flag unverified LRA claims and fix photo/piece-count consistency - Build-Status.md now flags Part 3's LRA part number and connector polarity claim as carried over from earlier-generation documentation and unconfirmed against a source or assembled hardware - Part 5 and Part 6 now carry the photos-pending callout that Build-Status.md already lists them under - Part-4's intro now names all 7 housing pieces, matching the Parts and Tools List footnote

  • docs: fix Next-link chain, add parts list to Build Path, reword cross-refs - Why-We-Use-Spring-Tactors.md pointed Next at Part 3 instead of Part 1, skipping ordering/flashing entirely - Home.md's Build Path never linked the Parts and Tools List - Part-2's cross-reference to Part 5 read as recording data inside that page rather than needing it there later - Disclaimers.md still said "Blue Buzzah" instead of "BlueBuzzah v3"
