The set of open source code and verifiable code overlap, but one doesn't always imply the other. In either case, provenance needs to be established. I think it would be reasonable for Obsidian to ship signed checksums and a public transparency log (e.g., Sigstore) for builds (plugins authors could do the same?). A more granular plugin permissions system would be great too, even though most plugins are OSS.
