That's equally true of the VSCodium binary. It's not a reproducible build, I have no way of knowing from which source code the binary was generated.

Of course I could build from source, but VSCodium is just VSCode built from source with a build flag set. So in this regard it's not contributing anything notable (and doesn't claim so either).

Why is it not possible to build VSCodium in a reproducible way? Does it download packages while building?

I think this kind of reproducible:

Sorry, but I don't think I am qualified to explain clearly
