#3Too bad there’s no single „this is what this project is” anywhere in the repo description, readme or docs. There’s „X is next generation of Y”, and even the whitepaper goes straight into weeds instead of explaining what the thing is. I tried hard but I still don’t fully understand.

If you don't know what it is based on the limited info in the readme you're not the audience.

Agreed. From a quick skim (especially of the CLI interface) it looks to be a device to impersonate an NFC card, so you can then put it on a reader (eg. A hotel room door) and try to reverse engineer the handshake.

looks like to be for pentesting. If you look at their affiliates, it's a bit more clear https://lab401.com/collections/pentesting/products/lab401-pe...
But I came here too, to understand what it is about and we are probably just not the audience :-)
Now, I'd be curious to know how good these devices are and/or how insecure these RFID chips are - because 500 USD is quite cheap for a device supposed to impersonate you or open your car or your hotel room.

If you type chameleon ultra v3 into the search box on aliexpress, you’ll get results for under 20€.

If you look up v4, you get about the same price as other resellers.
