LOW

Why flagged The package installs dependencies via pip, but it is building from a source tarball downloaded from PyPI, which is a standard and expected practice for Python packages; the pip install is for declared project dependencies, not arbitrary external code.

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 package installs dependencies via pip, but it is building from a source tarball downloaded from PyPI, which is a standard and expected practice for Python packages; the pip install is for declared project dependencies, not arbitrary external code.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

MEDIUM pip install of an external package pip_install_external

`pip install <package>` fetches an unpinned package from PyPI at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.
