Package cobbleload version 0.1.0 on PyPI was scanned across 10 files with no a static rule matches and no traced behavioral findings. No install-time or import-time network activity, credential or environment reads, filesystem persistence, or lifecycle-script execution was identified. Nothing in the scanned contents indicates a supply-chain attack against installers.
