Reproducibility is the New Copyleft: Defining AGI-oriented Reproducible Builds should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Because a wallet provider or exchange that has custody of a digital asset gains full control over transactions, hacking a digital asset exchange is equivalent to robbing a bank: the attacker obtains valuable cryptocurrency that can be cashed out. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through model context protocol, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
