Why flagged

The package downloads a prebuilt AppImage from a non-standard host (cdn-zcode.z.ai), which is an unverifiable executable artifact from a potentially swappable source, posing a supply-chain risk if the host is compromised.

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, …).
