pipegrip 0.1.0 ships a small Python package with no observed install-time or import-time network activity, no credential or filesystem secret reads, no subprocess execution of fetched content, and no lifecycle hooks performing privileged actions. No exfiltration, dropper, silent-relay, backdoor, or self-propagation mechanism is present in the artifact.
