Why flagged

The pip install runs in a local virtual environment on the project's own requirements.txt from the verified source tarball; this is a standard build step, not an external untrusted package install.

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 pip install runs in a local virtual environment on the project's own requirements.txt from the verified source tarball; this is a standard build step, not an external untrusted package install.

1 higher static finding superseded - not the current verdict (shown for transparency)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

  • PKGBUILD:25 pip install -r requirements.txt
