Triage by WanderSoil Support (Ambassador-staffed):
---
1. Year 1.8: app prompts user — schedule send-back recalibration service window (next 6 months acceptable) 2. User submits service ticket 3. Ambassador ships prepaid label 4. Unit arrives at Ambassador depot 5. Ambassador uses 4-soil-type bench-cal fixture (sand / loam / clay / peat) cross-cal vs gravimetric reference 6. EC null-cal in DI water + KCl reference solutions 7. Ambassador QA + ships to user 8. Cost: $25 service + shipping; total turnaround ~5-7 days (faster than WanderBreath Sensirion-batch because we own the cal fixture)
Founding Member benefit: pre-paid 2-yr probe recalibration included.
1. App detects gradual EC baseline drift + impedance trend exceeding threshold 2. App prompts user 3. User options:
1. Firmware tracks cell capacity over solar-charge cycling; flags when capacity < 70% 2. App prompts user 3. DIY: order spare cell ($9), receive in 3-5 days, T10-remove solar cap, swap cell, close cap, 2-min DIY
1. User reports cracked / hazed sapphire (typical cause: rock thrown by lawnmower, hailstone, accidental tool strike) 2. Send-back service: $25 service + $19 window cost 3. Ambassador removes solar cap, replaces sapphire with epoxy + new O-ring, QA pressure-decay test 4. Total turnaround ~5 days

Per DECISIONS.md D-09: probes + EC head + cell + sapphire window are all DIY-replaceable or send-back-serviceable. No vendor lock anywhere.

The capacitive moisture probe head + EC head custom-fab assemblies are NOT distributed as STL files. They are precision-machined SS components with PCBA-laminated capacitive sensing pads + welded electrodes. WanderStore sells:
These are wear items (5-yr / 7-yr typical replacement); the WanderVerse repair-tech network can install them in 5 min.
If a third-party community machinist wants to fabricate replacement probe heads compatible with WanderSoil, the dimensional drawings + PCBA capacitive-pad reference design will be published under OSHW-style license post-2027-Q1 (after Stage 4 sourcing decisions are locked).

Standard 4 — Repair Culture. WanderVerse hardware should outlive the company if needed.
If you can print a replacement bezel ring + buy a spare 18650 + follow the schematic, your WanderSoil continues to work in 2040 even if WanderVerse no longer exists.
That is the commitment.

STL files are placeholders until industrial-design team output (target: 2027-Q1). Source files version-controlled in ~/Projects/wanderverse-design-stl/wandersoil/ (private until 2027-Q1).
