LOW

Why flagged The pip install commands are part of building the project from its own source, installing declared dependencies from requirements files in the official source tarball; this is normal for Python packages and not a 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 pip install commands are part of building the project from its own source, installing declared dependencies from requirements files in the official source tarball; this is normal for Python packages and not a supply-chain risk.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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