Can you ever really trust this info? I think that the deployment manifest is the only thing you can really trust.

huh? how would a random file be more trust worthy than metadata inserted by the build tool itself at build time?

only way for this to be 'incorrect' would be if someone intentionally fucked it up or disabled it.

And if intentionally fucking it up is possible, can you really trust it?

If you are considering trust as a binary state then it's exactly as trustworthy as the manifest file.

If you consider as a continuum then it's strictly more trustworthy than the manifest file.

Trust to do what?
