@IceWolf right but to have a reproducible build, you have to be able to build, and I don't think Krita exposes enough of an API that you could build a document through the main program by scripting it.
I dunno, it sounds like you're saying the file is the build target, but I would say the file is your *source code*, the exported png is your build target.
To get a reproducible krita build, I would say construct a save file and directly manipulate it? I might be misunderstanding.

@foxyoreos Yeah, the file is the source code, but our source code shouldn't have random crap in it. :3 But in a more loose sense, the krita file is "built" of the actual /drawing/, the set of layers and pixels and settings for filter layers and stuff. You don't have to worry about that with text files because they're just the text. You do have to worry about that with stuff like Krita, or word processors, or whatever.
