Why flagged

The pip installs run inside a venv against the project's own requirements.txt (from the official GitHub source tarball with checksums), which is normal Python packaging practice; the only real concern is that pip resolves dependencies at build time from PyPI, but this is standard for Python AUR packages and not meaningfully more dangerous than any other pip-based build.

Triggered rules

Low AI review downgraded a static finding llm_review

The static rules flagged this MEDIUM, but an AI model (anthropic/claude-4.6-sonnet-20260217) reviewed the full PKGBUILD and judged it LOW (confidence 70%): The pip installs run inside a venv against the project's own requirements.txt (from the official GitHub source tarball with checksums), which is normal Python packaging practice; the only real concern is that pip resolves dependencies at build time from PyPI, but this is standard for Python AUR packages and not meaningfully more dangerous than any other pip-based build.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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