I do not know if you have ever established a bootable context
from a set of the .txz files but there is the likes of:

https://artifact.ci.freebsd.org/snapshot/head/r350003/arm64/aarch64/ <https://artifact.ci.freebsd.org/snapshot/head/r350003/arm64/aarch64/>

(for whatever r*/ that happens to have arm64/aarch64/ present). It
has the compressed tar archives:

kernel.txz and base.txz
kernel-dbg.txz and base-dbg.txz
tests.txz

along with:

MANIFEST
revision.txt

(Sometimes the resulting uname -apKU will report a svn revsion r??????
that was just after the latest from the branch in use at the time of the build:
from another branch. The revision.txt content and the r*/ part of the path
should be correct.)

(I do not claim that these notes cover the "+c99cb2e79ed6" part of the
reference.)

The content is for a debug build, witness and more in use.
