From a quick skim of the repository, it looks like this is only for accessories/devices that you own. I hope that this is the case, and that it doesn't work for the "Find My Friends" functionality.

I'm okay sharing my location with trusted people so that they can occasionally manually check where I currently am. I don't like the idea of them theoretically being able to automatically record my location and build a complete history of my movements over time.

You should probably just assume that the recording is possible and not share your location with people you don't trust to not do that. Find my Friends isn't Snapchat—there's nothing in the pitch about ephemerality, so you shouldn't assume they engineered it in as a design constraint.
