What is the lowest rating someone can get on lichess?

val minRating = 600
....
def cap =
copy( rating = rating atLeast Glicko.minRating, ...

These are the two places in that file where the named property or parameter or variable is mentioned.

Can anyone translate scala to math, to make sure that the apparent intent of a lower bound from the chosen name is actually enforcing 600 upon cranking that whole file as algorithm on given pool of rating and its updating?

I am not sure I can read well enough the code to see the math it implements.
