Pedantic question: When a company says they are 100% remote, do they mean even for HQ/executive-type stuff?

Say GitLab was entertaining acquisition offers, would the CEO just ask the lawyers to come hang out in his living room?

Or do they mean "of course we have a small office for legal and practical reasons, but rank-and-file employees all work remotely".

Many do. The living room thing seems like a straw man: The CEO and other employees can have individual offices (not everyone likes to work from their bedroom), or you rent a meeting room when you need one.
