We're working on making an experimental pre-release build of GrapheneOS for the Pixel 8a. It will have the 2024-05-05 security patch level but it will initially be missing the Android 14 QPR2 improvements and also the many GrapheneOS improvements since our March 3rd release.
There's a high chance Android 14 QPR3 will be released in June, and they likely decided it didn't make sense to go through all the work of getting QPR2 ready for release. Launching a brand new Pixel with backports to a previous quarterly release is still quite a strange choice.
