Compressed files included

The plugin package contains nested archives or compressed files.

critical weight

Why It Shows Up

Plugin Check found ZIP, TAR, GZ, or similar compressed files inside the plugin package.

Why It Matters

Nested archives hide code from normal review and can increase supply-chain risk or bloat the release.

How to Fix

  • Do not ship backup archives, vendor source archives, or release ZIPs inside the plugin.
  • Extract required assets into normal files or fetch optional data through documented runtime flows.
  • Review packaging scripts so archives are not copied into the release by accident.
