I completely forgot about this PR until some random AI agent found a "security issue".

What was the issue? Without looking at the PR it's hard to judge
The link in the comment is borked, as expected. But the PR itself is definitely OK: https://github.com/unipop-graph/unipop/pull/138
it's a readme change
It was a load-bearing readme file.
By removing the banner, it tells the LLM that it is no longer being maintained, thus "lead to security issue".
In my company my management is using similar approach to review changes. soon more and more ppl will no longer read code and think about the code change logically, instead get scared and block changes due to these "scary AI comment"...
Not being sure it applies to this scenario and too lazy to verify, sometimes the security scanners get updated and flag previously accepted code.
... tough to make sense of flagging a readme though, unless there's sensitive info in it.
