Why flagged
The `npx tauri build` command runs a local project build script, not a remote package; the Tauri CLI is a standard tool in the project's own toolchain, and no untrusted remote code is executed.
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 95%): The `npx tauri build` command runs a local project build script, not a remote package; the Tauri CLI is a standard tool in the project's own toolchain, and no untrusted remote code is executed.
1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)
Medium
npx/bunx/deno executes a remote package
remote_code_tool
`npx`/`bunx`/`pnpm dlx`/`deno run <url>` downloads AND runs a remote package at build time — the moral equivalent of piping a download into a shell. Severity downgraded: Node.js consumer context.

# Its sibling `vega-nostr-git` builds the default branch, which is what a
7
# `-git` package is supposed to do — but that means it ships whatever was
8
# last pushed to main, including unreleased work. It was the only Vega
9
# package on the AUR until this one existed, and the README pointed at it,
10
# so every Arch user was running development code without being told.

# Keep the build steps here in sync with vega-nostr-git's. They are the same
