What do you mean by subpeona-proof? I don't quite understand how that
relates to your second paragraph.

With regards to your second paragraph, the source code for actions is
part of the service's repo and can be built by users and compared to the
actions being sent by the server to see if they're getting the same
code. However, I'm not certain whether our build process for JS actually
reproduces the same code each run. It's probably a good thing to test
out, but I don't think I'd consider it a launch blocker.

I'm not super-familiar with those topics, but does that address your
question?
