Comment

The only change in this .SRCINFO diff is a pkgrel bump from 1 to 2, with no changes to sources, checksums, dependencies, install script, or build logic. This is a metadata-only rebuild marker and does not introduce any new security risk on its own.

Comment

The change only adds two optional dependencies in .SRCINFO: bubblewrap and socat, both labeled for "Agent host sandboxing." .SRCINFO is metadata only and does not alter build, install, or runtime behavior by itself. The added packages are common system utilities and there is no indication of malicious persistence, privilege escalation, network fetching, or packaging integrity issues in this diff hunk. Risk is therefore minimal.

Comment

The change only bumps pkgrel from 1 to 2 in PKGBUILD, with no modification to sources, build steps, install scripts, dependencies, permissions, or package contents. This is a metadata-only rebuild/release increment and does not introduce any new security-relevant behavior.

Comment

The change only adds two optional runtime dependencies, bubblewrap and socat, to support VS Code agent sandboxing. There are no new build-time downloads, no script execution, no privilege changes, and no packaging/install-script modifications in the provided hunk. The source URLs remain HTTPS and pinned to the package version. This looks like a straightforward dependency metadata update with no security red flags in the diff shown.
