Why flagged
The pip install occurs only in a conditional code path for a standalone virtualenv, which is disabled by default; the default build uses standard AUR practices with declared dependencies and installs from the project's own source tarball.
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 occurs only in a conditional code path for a standalone virtualenv, which is disabled by default; the default build uses standard AUR practices with declared dependencies and installs from the project's own source tarball.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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.
