Reliability Notes

Secondary reporting. States that Tunick’s attorneys confirmed GrapheneOS was running on his phone and that experts had not seen similar duress-password charging theories. Prefer primary court filings for legal status; treat GrapheneOS confirmation as press-attributed counsel statement until a primary filing naming GrapheneOS is located.
