You mean a specific court order to forge documents? Hmm, never heard of such.
As opposed to a gag order - which this will detect by the virtue of
not appearing.
Creating the documents ahead of time would defeat the measure.

It's probably more vulnerable to covert coercion than to that. But
then again, if devs are compromised
in this way they may instead introduce more subtle backdoors or bugs.
