No problems traced to this repository code in these checks; a short run cannot prove safety. 158 listed items (named-host connections, static matches, dependency advisories) are below and do not change this verdict. 2 static matches retained as context.
OSV reports a known vulnerability in this dependency version. 4 distinct locations. 71 findings.
Reviewed as expected for a test run: attempted writes that failed, so nothing was written.
