 Does it have a proof of reserves (or proof of liabilities?) scheme to verify the funds of the mint?

If so, can this scheme be rolled everyday instead of every 30 days?

Yes, it's already built into the client. For each of your statehain utxos you can click "show info" and it will show you what bitcoin address those coins are located in, which you can verify by looking up that address on your node or on a block explorer. No rehypothecation -- you hold a key to that address, and you hold a "backout transaction" which you can broadcast after a timelock if the mint goes down. (You can see the mint's signature for this transaction in "show info" as well.)

You can roll it every second if you want to. You yourself audit your own coins as often as you want. 
 To make this easier, today I added a "Proof of Liabilities" button which only shows you information pertinent to proving that (1) an address on bitcoin has enough money to pay you your liabilities (2) you have a key in that address (3) you have enough signatures from the operator to let you withdraw your money unilaterally after a timelock

These items are sufficient to prove that the reserves exist and that the liabilities toward you exist...but they do not prove you will actually be paid, because a malicious operator could steal the money from the proof_of_reserves address with help from a prior holder of your statecoin
