CRITICAL

npm lifecycle script — runs automatically on install

        "prepare": "bun run build",
        "postinstall": "node scripts/postinstall.cjs",
        "release": "semantic-release",

Why was this flagged?

npm lifecycle scripts like postinstall run automatically during package installation with no user interaction required. This is the #1 attack vector for malicious npm packages — attackers embed data theft or backdoor installation in these hooks. Rated CRITICAL because code executes before the developer can review it.
