Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from the project's official GitHub releases, which is then extracted and installed; while the source is not built from scratch, it comes from a trusted project host and installs only static assets and binaries under isolated paths, posing minimal risk.

      4#
    
      5# Co-installable with the "synara" stable package: everything lives under
    
      6# /opt/synara-beta and /usr/bin/synara-beta, so both channels can be installed
    
      7# side by side.
    
      8#
    
      9# The AppImage is only a transport format: we extract it at package time and
    
      10# install the real Electron tree under /opt/synara-beta so AppImageLauncher/
    
      11# Gear Lever never intercept execution.
