       | Has anyone implemented this end-to-end? This seems production

       | publish artifacts, and then use the k8s policy controller to only
       | run verified artifacts, it seems incomplete.

       | It appears the reason to include this system in a toolchain would
       | be to meet compliance requirements, but even the GCP, AWS, and
       | Azure implementations of artifact signing & verification are in
       | beta.

         | trusting.

       | build is derived from the source unmodified?
