Why flagged

The package downloads a source tarball from a non-whitelisted but project-associated CDN (fhs.sh, linked from katawa-shoujo.com); the content is a game for Ren'Py, not executable code, and is verified by a matching sha256sum; worst case is data tampering, not remote code execution.

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 downloads a source tarball from a non-whitelisted but project-associated CDN (fhs.sh, linked from katawa-shoujo.com); the content is a game for Ren'Py, not executable code, and is verified by a matching sha256sum; worst case is data tampering, not remote code execution.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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