WebUSB installer Murena on FP6 was great. But can I lock it?

Hi!
I recently bought a refurbished Fairphone 6 and Google was in my face making me search for all the cancel, skip, later and whatnot. So I wanted to get rid of the preinstalled android and move to /e/OS Murena, which I did. The WebUSB installer was easy and before I knew it I was looking Murena right in the face. So far so good.

Now the issue I have is that I also would like to lock my bootloader. And last I hurd this requires knowledge of what specific SPL (security patch level) both new and old system have. But since I have already put the “new” system on it, I have not the vaguest clue whether I can fish that info out somewhere. I checked with “fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability” and it gave me a 1, which I highly appreciate. But yet I do not know what ‘ability’ is in this sense as it may still be the ability to brick.
My current system has 5th of july on it.

I would like some help in either retreiving the “old” SPL so I can make the compare - or a logical other solution, like … waiting it out? Lock it like half a year later, would that do the trick or something? I don’t mind waiting, it’s just that for as long as it’s unlocked I’d rather not lose my phone you see…

Kind regards to this community!

Hey piero, thanks for the ridiculously fast response. Though I went through it earlier.
I’m afraid I need a straigtforward instruction, I don’t know the SPL at the time of unlock, that time has passed.
Its either 5th of july or 5th of may. Could it be that /e/OS is ahead of this already and its time to lock after updating? Because the /e/OS SPL is already at 1st of august where original android is on 5th of may. The date of “new” OS must be newer than “old” OS correct?

The WebUSB installer might have done a lot already, like change SPL or something.
This makes me unsure about the SPL matching. PLease inform me, would waiting a month or two, and then update & locking be a reasonable solution?

All done, locked. Solution: talk to AI, not sure if risky, but got me there.
