The backup battery power supply is part of the current rig but is outside
this photo set.

Its live/read-only status is visible on the Shadow display photograph.

FOLLOW-UP DUPLICATE
The separately supplied file 20260917_182816(1).jpg is byte-for-byte
identical to 20260917_182816.jpg and is therefore not stored twice.

Duplicate SHA-256:
5bfee60ab1c4300a976c3ac6b18f5b7650812529d026cc9adf9a65aeedb70e2b

SEMANTICS
These photographs document the machinery.
They do not define the A8 ruler or physical rate.

Nature remains the reference.
The hardware carries and records the physical relationship.

Any conventional date/time visible on the computer desktop is incidental
screen metadata and is not A8 timing authority.
