jscast-git
The npm install is part of building the project from source and uses dependencies declared in the project's own package.json; the flagged 'external package' addition is actually a development-time plugin required for local Electron integration, consistent with the build process.
Triggered rules
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 90%): The npm install is part of building the project from source and uses dependencies declared in the project's own package.json; the flagged 'external package' addition is actually a development-time plugin required for local Electron integration, consistent with the build process.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
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.
