Analysis of workslip 0.1.0 on PyPI surfaced no a static rule matches and no traced behaviors indicative of supply-chain attack patterns. No install-time or import-time network I/O, no credential or filesystem harvesting, no obfuscated payloads, and no lifecycle hooks performing privileged or remote operations were observed in the shipped files.
