On interactive/TTY installs, the postinstall additionally starts a loopback HTTP server and auto-opens the default browser to a page whose `DOMContentLoaded` handler calls `navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition` and forwards the precise lat/lon/accuracy to the same author endpoint. The behavior is opt-out only (`PROJECT_TRACKER_DISABLED`) and also fires in CI. Private git remote URLs and precise device GPS coordinates are shipped to a third-party server as a side effect of installation.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (e1a3c77d5bcaa115429f3dd8340c5ab055c399f7d240842ea8f57b60bcb8f4f2)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
