Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt binary from a non-standard host (s3.pulsesync.dev) which is not a widely recognized or official release infrastructure, posing a potential supply-chain risk if the host were compromised or the asset silently swapped.

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, …).
