"""Returns a timestamp that approximates the build date.

build_type impacts the timestamp generated, both relative to the date of the
last recent commit:
- default: the build date is set to the most recent first Sunday of a month at
  5:00am. The reason is that it is a time where invalidating the build cache
  shouldn't have major repercussions (due to lower load).
- official: the build date is set to the time of the most recent commit.
Either way, it is guaranteed to be in the past and always in UTC.
"""

# The requirements for the timestamp:
# (1) for the purposes of continuous integration, longer duration
#     between cache invalidation is better, but >=1mo is preferable.
# (2) for security purposes, timebombs would ideally be as close to
#     the actual time of the build as possible. It must be in the past.
# (3) HSTS certificate pinning is valid for 70 days. To make CI builds enforce
#     HTST pinning, <=1mo is preferable.
#
# On Windows, the timestamp is also written in the PE/COFF file header of
# executables of dlls.  That timestamp and the executable's file size are
# the only two pieces of information that identify a given executable on
# the symbol server, so rarely changing timestamps can cause conflicts there
# as well. We only upload symbols for official builds to the symbol server.
