Okay I found some context for this issue:
a) Lite proxy requires an init step that's currently insecurely skipped

Lines 17 to 27 in 3d5c05e

    
           	// XXX: total insecure hack to avoid `init` 
        
           	fc, err := source.LatestCommit() 
        
           	/* XXX 
        
           	// this gets the most recent verified commit 
        
           	fc, err := trust.LatestCommit() 
        
           	if certerr.IsCommitNotFoundErr(err) { 
        
           		return nil, errors.New("Please run init first to establish a root of trust") 
        
           	}*/ 
        
           	if err != nil { 
        
           		return nil, err 
        
           	}

which was added in 11761d1

	// XXX: total insecure hack to avoid `init`
	fc, err := source.LatestCommit()
	/* XXX
	// this gets the most recent verified commit
	fc, err := trust.LatestCommit()
	if certerr.IsCommitNotFoundErr(err) {
	return nil, errors.New("Please run init first to establish a root of trust")
	}*/
	if err != nil {
	return nil, err
	}
