Why flagged

Prebuilt binary Electron app downloaded from a non-standard object storage host (eplg.cloud) unrelated to the project's own domain (senden.chat); checksums are present which mitigates swap risk, but the release infrastructure is an unverifiable third-party cloud bucket rather than an official project domain or well-known forge.

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, …).
