“The reproducibility is cryptographically verifiable with hashes“ would be the full sentence, but it’s a mouthful.

Build reproducibility checks usually use bitwise comparison, not hash comparison.

The Reproducible Builds project also wrote diffoscope, which goes quite far with helping identify where differences occur and how to fix them.

yes, but it's still not cryptological, it's just verification using hashes.
