Why flagged

The package downloads prebuilt .deb binaries from a non-standard host (cdn-zcode.z.ai), which is not a widely recognized or whitelisted domain; while the checksums are provided and match, the source is an unverifiable binary release, creating a supply-chain risk if the host were compromised or spoofed.

Triggered rules

Medium source=() URL on a non-standard host source_untrusted_domain

One or more source=() URLs point to a host outside the trusted allowlist (github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, pypi.org, …).
