Will 2 binaries differing by timestamp hash the same? do you suggest that file hashing algorithms skip date bytes in a binary? The KISS solution is to not vary date in the binary.

Not sure why the timestamp of when the build happened should even be logged. Include the git repository, the sha and if on CI, the build number/hash and you're pretty much covered.
