re your (1), the bits cannot be drained. The only thing that can happen to them is that there is an attacker with root on your computer, and they see the CSPRNG inner state, and the attacker loses their access but they can still predict output of CSPRNG because it's deterministic, so you want to inject new entropy into it so the attacker will lose ability to predict CSPRNG output. djb says this is nonse. https://blog.cr.yp.to/20140205-entropy.html
