Why flagged

The package builds from a legitimate project source on GitHub and uses a pinned Zig toolchain from the official ziglang.org domain; the non-whitelisted host is for a build tool (Zig) that is checksum-verified, and the main payload is a local build of the project's own code, posing no remote code execution or supply-chain risk.

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 builds from a legitimate project source on GitHub and uses a pinned Zig toolchain from the official ziglang.org domain; the non-whitelisted host is for a build tool (Zig) that is checksum-verified, and the main payload is a local build of the project's own code, posing no remote code execution or supply-chain risk.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

Medium source=() URL on a non-standard host source_untrusted_domain

One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).
