What does fully reproducible mean? Like NixOS fully reproducible or just an LTS version that will have close to 0 installed packages hence "reproducible."
You Compile and I compile, we get the same binary file.
Yes I read that but it doesn't explain how it produces the exact same image.
Lots of software has non-reproducible build artifacts due to e.g. timestamps being inserted, or due to non-stable algorithms being used during compilation. They presumably managed to remove all sources of randomness from the image they build.
