Comment

The change only bumps pkgver in .SRCINFO from 1.23b to 1.23.1b. No source URLs, checksums, build logic, install scripts, or packaging permissions are changed, and there are no new execution or persistence vectors introduced by this metadata-only update. Based on the provided diff hunk, this is low risk.

Comment

The change only updates the version string in .SRCINFO from zen-browser=1.23b to zen-browser=1.23.1b. This is metadata-only and does not alter build steps, sources, install scripts, permissions, or runtime behavior. No security impact is evident from this diff alone.

Comment

The change is limited to .SRCINFO metadata updating the upstream release version and corresponding SHA256 checksums for the x86_64 and aarch64 prebuilt tarballs. The download URLs remain HTTPS and still point to the official Zen Browser GitHub releases page, with no new sources, scripts, or build logic introduced. This does not add any execution paths or persistence mechanisms; it is a routine package version bump with integrity hashes updated accordingly.

Comment

The change is a straightforward version bump plus updated checksums for the upstream release tarballs. No build logic, install scripts, permissions, or source URLs were altered, and the sources remain HTTPS GitHub release artifacts. I do not see any new supply-chain, persistence, or privilege-escalation risk introduced by this diff.

Comment

The change only updates the pinned checksums for the architecture-specific Zen browser release tarballs and bumps pkgver from 1.23b to 1.23.1b. No new sources, scripts, commands, permissions, or packaging logic were introduced. The package still downloads from the official GitHub releases over HTTPS and the rest of the PKGBUILD is unchanged. Security impact is limited to integrity metadata for a new upstream release, with no evident red flags in the diff itself.
