View on AUR

Why flagged

The npm install is part of building the project from its own source (git repo), which is normal for AUR packages; no external or undeclared packages are actually installed, as the command uses the local source tree.

Triggered rules

Low AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b-07-25) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The npm install is part of building the project from its own source (git repo), which is normal for AUR packages; no external or undeclared packages are actually installed, as the command uses the local source tree.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

Medium npm/yarn/pnpm install of an undeclared external package npm_install_external

Runs `npm/yarn/pnpm install <package>` for a package not in source=(), pulling unpinned, unreviewed code at build time. Severity downgraded: the package declares/looks like a Node.js consumer, where build-time installs are expected.
