Official description
Review of flintqueue 0.1.0 on PyPI did not surface install-time or import-time behavior that targets the installer. No lifecycle hook network I/O, no credential or home-directory scanning, no outbound beacons to third-party endpoints, and no fetch-and-execute dropper were observed in the shipped files.
