It's all in plain sight. Well, the guts of the PWM converter isn't,
but that's pretty obvious.

The PWM converter, and in fact everything, will be implemented in an
FPGA, with an ADC to pick up the output voltage.

May as well go pseudo-random on the spread spectrum part. Any audible
side effects would be hiss, not whine.
