Why flagged

The source URL is dynamically fetched from a non-standard host via an API call, resulting in an unverifiable and potentially swappable prebuilt binary; this creates a supply-chain risk despite the project being legitimate.

Triggered rules

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, …).
