I recognized her name when this story dropped. She’s been on an Apple vendetta for some time.

People can be right and on a vendetta at the same time. The only thing relevant for this heading is: does the EPA report point at an actual problem?
No
This does not seem to align with what the report states. The report lists 19 potential violations.
19 potential violations, most of which were mislabeled and unlabeled things or poor storage habits and addressed (meaning they aren't violations).

The rest of it was things being managed under state/local rules that should have been managed under federal rules which Apple still has time to fix and make them not violations.

I do not think it is fair/honest to focus on the mundane findings, then use that to debase the entire report.
but it's a strong indictor
all of the findings are mundane
At what point does legitimate whistleblowing become a vendetta?
As yet, none of it is legit
When other notable Apple whistleblowers have to file restraining orders against them because Gjovik makes up more lies and then doxxes their family?

Gjovik is self-publishing this for a reason, multiple journalists tried to corroborate her constantly changing story, and when the media interest disappeared she had a w̶e̶l̶l̶-̶p̶u̶b̶l̶i̶c̶i̶s̶e̶d̶ somewhat-infamous-in-Apple-circles meltdown and in an increasingly implausible conspiracy allegation attacked multiple former allies for being out to get her, many of which have remained silent.

When the Apple fan boys say so.
