 There are no sub-requirements on the build itself. Build L3 is limited to
 ensuring that a well-intentioned build runs securely. It does not require that
 a build platform prevents a producer from performing a risky or insecure build. In
 particular, the "Isolated" requirement does not prohibit a build from calling
 out to a remote execution service or a "self-hosted runner" that is outside the
-trust boundary of the build platform.
+trust boundary of the build platform. Additionally, build L3 does not prohibit
+builds from resolving dependencies outside of the knowledge of the build platform.
 
 NOTE: This requirement was split into "Isolated" and "Ephemeral Environment"
 in the initial [draft version (v0.1)](../v0.1/requirements.md).
