The codebase has a Google Cloud Storage backend? Synonym's production configuration (which backend they're actually running) is not public from what I can tell.
The entire storage configuration in google_bucket_config.rs (the file that controls where your data lives) is this:
rustlet builder = opendal::services::Gcs::default()
.bucket(&self.bucket_name)
.credential(&credential);
Bucket name. Credential. That's it. So user data goes to a Google Cloud Storage bucket that Synonym owns and controls?

A sovereignty protocol that stores your data on Google Cloud is kind of hilarious at first glance.

I have to read the quote in the context Augustine sets within the same book (De Correptione et Gratia). He distinguishes regenerating grace from the gift of perseverance, without folding them into one.
He also describes different categories of people in a corresponding fashion: the regenerate who genuinely receive grace and fall away, the predestined who persevere to the end, and those who never receive grace at all. He also explicitly says we can't tell which group we belong to in this life.
The Reformers collapsed 'the truly regenerate' = 'the predestined' = 'those who can have assurance' into one. Augustine kept them distinct, and warned of presumption as well.
Claiming Augustine held Reformed theology is a bit wild to me. He affirmed the papacy. He affirmed apostolic succession. He affirmed the sacraments as means of grace. He affirmed prayers for the dead. He affirmed the intercession of the saints. He affirmed Mary's perpetual virginity and sinlessness. He affirmed free will cooperating with grace.
Even B.B. Warfield (Reformed) said, "The Reformation was the ultimate triumph of Augustine's doctrine of grace over Augustine's doctrine of the Church." That's a Reformed theologian admitting the Reformers kept Augustine's doctrine of grace and rejected his doctrine of the Church.
