Here are the built-in tools for verifying authenticity, a project to reproduce builds, and a thread where the devs confirm reproducibility and other community members link the above.

Thanks, interesting. I have used boot attestation but not yet Auditor. Hope to have some quality time reading up on the documentation in the coming three weeks.
