"Does your setup, or in-toto in general, get all the way into the weeds of clang, libc, the python VM, or whatever supporting tooling goes into building and running the Agent?"
Not yet. This chicken-and-egg problem will take time to solve. We will need to spread TUF + in-toto piece by piece...
"Assuming it does not drill _all_ the way down, is there something about in-toto that adds value above and beyond GPG signing git commits?"
Yes. While signing git commits are a good idea, how would the client know whether the built package corresponds to a signed git commit? With developers signing in-toto link metadata about source code, this become easier to check in the background by the client.
