I'm so excited to hear this! I hope we end up with something similar to grapheneos available!

A short list of useful hardening features that make a serious difference for Graphene: Zero-on-free with detection of write-after-free via checking that memory is still zeroed before handing it out again. Turn USB-C to power only (no data) when screen is locked. Auto reboot after X hours. Turn off WiFi/Bluetooth after X minutes after disconnect. Hardened kernal. Strong commitment to fast updates of drivers, kernal and OS to security patch level. Dynamic code loading blocked. More here:
This is highly appreciated. Was close to trying to boot Android 16's GSI on mine but chickened out (and then got preoccupied with other stuff).
Daylight computer is starting to become an interesting project. But my top priority lately is a device that doesn't willingly say misleading or confusing stuff in the marketing materials or UI. Your device uses plastic for the exterior, so it would be really hard to meet my requirements because you'd have to give pretty obvious warnings that the device is not safe for everyday users, kids, household environments, etc.
