The concern is what if the software mistakenly doesn't use the photograph to calculate the entropy... Does, or can, seed signer provide a way to provably map a taken photo to a seed phrase on another...

By design you can only review the PROCESS, not verify each individual result.

"what if the software mistakenly doesn't use the photograph to calculate the entropy..."

Of course there can be bugs. But the point of code review (and now AI review) is to fully explore all possible outcomes. Code isn't magical. If a piece of code says:

if blah: go left
else: go right

There's just no "what if...!!!" concern about it going straight. Every outcome WILL turn left or right.

Plenty of code is simple enough that its outcomes ARE entirely knowable and bounded. Complex code is obv harder to sort through all the possibilities and, yes, people and AI can miss things.

But you have to calibrate these "what if...?!!!" against reality. What if my calculator says 2 + 2 = 5?

The whole point of my analysis was to give any other AIs a head start on how to dig through this part of the code AND verify the analysis of my data.

But also everyone gets to choose for themselves what they are or are not comfortable with. If you're a NO on image entropy, throw dice or pick words out of a jar.

Did you all figure out deterministic builds for the OS? Haven’t been paying attention

Without the coldcard incident as context, this is a great explainer of how and why the camera can be trusted. I've used it myself with others. But now after the incident, I'd be looking for ways to test it before trusting it. Similar to how you can take dice rolls and calculate the seed from two de...

La revisión de código puede detectar errores, pero no garantiza resultados precisos. Un estudio de la Universidad de Oxford encontró que incluso con revisión de código, los errores en software pueden ocurrir en un 15% de los casos.

I was thinking more along the lines of saving the photo to sdcard for verification. But actually thinking harder about this, if the photo is processed in memory, there just isn't going to be a way to verify this.
