I forgot whether if its supposed to be HotPotato or HotBattery (given that its been 9 months since I last looked at it, and the original repository is 2 years ago), I could always just fix the localization to HotPotato in post.

As we do not have the tooling yet to automate checking the repo against the Thunderstore mod, I only checked the Thunderstore mod (which is our ground source of truth anyway).

I checked there was no obvious malicious behaviour or files included in the zip. There's no use of "dangerous" ¹ functions.

Note that there's still a left-over example.nut. As this doesn't appear to be referenced in the mod.json this doesn't have any impact but you might still wanna consider pushing another update that removes it.

As usual, verification does not ensure correctness, only non-malicious behaviour. Correctness is responsibility of the mod author.

With that said, in terms of verifying for no malicious behaviour this is good to go :D

Footnotes

1. e.g.: Safe I/O stuff and SquirrelHTTP. "dangerous" is a bit too much maybe. Under the assumption that the native implementations are correct and secure, there's nothing dangerous here. However it's always recommended to use more of a Swiss cheese approach and also operate a bit under the assumption that a layer can fail. ↩
