# Narrow, high-signal scanner. Only fires on critical indicators of supply
# chain attacks (e.g. the litellm-style payloads). Low-signal heuristics
# (plain base64, plain exec/eval, dependency/Dockerfile/workflow edits,
# Actions version unpinning, outbound POST/PUT) were intentionally
# removed — they fired on nearly every PR and trained reviewers to ignore
# the scanner. Keep this file's checks ruthlessly narrow: if you find
# yourself adding WARNING-tier patterns here again, make a separate
# advisory-only workflow instead.

          Python \`.pth\` files in \`site-packages/\` execute automatically when the interpreter starts — no import required.

          Subprocess calls whose command strings are base64- or hex-encoded are a strong indicator of payload execution.
