LOW

Why flagged The pip install in prepare() installs only pure Python dependencies from PyPI, not the package itself, which is built from the official git source; the risk is low as these are common Python packages and the main software is not fetched via pip.

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 90%): The pip install in prepare() installs only pure Python dependencies from PyPI, not the package itself, which is built from the official git source; the risk is low as these are common Python packages and the main software is not fetched via pip.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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