Why flagged

The package bundles a prebuilt AppImage from the project's official GitHub release, which is a normal distribution method; the AppImage is extracted to install its contents, a standard practice, and the source is verifiable via checksum, making the risk low despite the AppImage being a prebuilt binary.
