Why was this flagged?
A script or Makefile pipes content from a remote URL directly into a shell (curl | sh or wget | bash). This is inherently dangerous because the remote content can change at any time, and the command runs with the current user's permissions. Rated HIGH because it requires manual execution (unlike install hooks) but still executes arbitrary remote code.

# What it does: Runs uv commands to show core setup without project details.
# How to use in new build: Install uv via curl (curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh), then uv tool install <tool> for each listed.
