github repo with only pre-compiled binaries coming from npmjs. These days anything from npmjs should already raise red flags, let alone something pre-compiled without sources.

I think you can compile the rust core lib from source yourself - https://github.com/Shyam20001/brahma-core

Tbf the new trusted publishers goes a long way to improving this (not used by this package by the look of it). I migrated a few of my packages to it, and now:

- publishing with an API token is forbidden, must use the specified workflow w/ OIDC auth

- an explicit approval step in GitHub is required to run the publish workflow (you can also set a time delay, similar to time release safes)

- provenance is generated and published

I like the idea, but I have difficulty putting a lot of trust in projects with AI generated descriptions.

That isn't dude not a vibe coded stuff. Its a complex architecture the src code is attached in Read Me file below do check.

Exactly I have attached the src link in Readme file. I'm maintaining independent sources and planning to build the same for python via maturin

Bro the source is locked and precompiled no body even the author cannot edit with malicious binaries. Thats y people used to publish binary to ensure stability. Instead of pulling from git each time.
