Why flagged

The flagged 'external install' via cabal is part of building the project from source using its official build system; this is normal for Haskell 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-2507) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 90%): The flagged 'external install' via cabal is part of building the project from source using its official build system; this is normal for Haskell packages and not a supply-chain risk.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

Medium External install via pipx/uv/poetry/cargo/go/gem alt_pkg_manager_install

A non-pip/npm package manager (pipx, uv, poetry, cargo install, go install, gem, conda…) fetches and builds an external package at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.
