Hidden luks password automatically enabled in default PureOS?

Yes and no.

As I understand the situation my newly delivered Librem device passed through the hands of many people I do not trust with the encryption key for my disk sitting unproteced on that same disk.

I fear that the encryption key of my disk could have been compromised before my new Librem reached my desk and if correct I criticize that I’ve not been made aware of this possible problem before or during setup.

I put together the whole story at Understanding the PureOS default disk encryption (luks, cryptsetup) / possible security issue to make it easier to understand my concern and maybe give me some hint what I misinterpreted - if I did so.
