Yeah, I'll just assume that my GrapheneOS install is safe, the checker probably wouldn't work anyway...

I haven't checked, does GrapheneOS do reproducible/deterministic builds so that you could verify that the published release matches your image? The boot attestation should not be able to be circumvented, if you trust Google hardware to do what it says on the tin.

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.

I'm considering running my own build farm for updates, so maybe I'll write up a post about it if I get to it.
