GrapheneOS gains early access to Android Security Bulletin patches for pre-embargo builds
By

Half-baked but well-meaning. A passing snack.
Summary
GrapheneOS, a security-focused Android-based operating system, has gained early access to Android Security Bulletin patches. This allows them to build and test security releases before the embargo ends, rather than after. The main benefit will be mitigating issues when Google's patches are pushed to AOSP with errors, enabling faster and more reliable security updates for users.

For now, we've still been doing the builds after the embargo ends.
It will mainly help when they screw up pushing to AOSP.
