Why flagged

The package builds from its own official GitHub source tarball with a verified checksum; pnpm install runs against the project's own ui/ directory (standard Tauri frontend dependency fetch), not an undeclared external package, so the flagged pattern is a false positive. The few-votes/new-upload concern is minor and not a technical risk indicator.

Triggered rules

Low Few votes, recently uploaded zero_votes_recent

Uploaded within the last 14 days with 2 or fewer community votes — little peer review so far.

Low AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 70%): The package builds from its own official GitHub source tarball with a verified checksum; pnpm install runs against the project's own ui/ directory (standard Tauri frontend dependency fetch), not an undeclared external package, so the flagged pattern is a false positive. The few-votes/new-upload concern is minor and not a technical risk indicator.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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