Why flagged

The pip installs are for building the application (pyinstaller and requirements.txt) from the project's own source repository, which is a normal part of packaging and not inherently dangerous.

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-07-25) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 95%): The pip installs are for building the application (pyinstaller and requirements.txt) from the project's own source repository, which is a normal part of packaging and not inherently dangerous.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)

Medium pip install of an external package pip_install_external

`pip install <package>` fetches an unpinned package from PyPI at build time, outside source=() and makepkg's checksums.
