Why this is a false positive
Here's a tight false-positive explanation for the bug report:
This is a defensive security engagement: a code review of the user's own marketing site frontend, specifically to verify remediation of a previously-leaked API key. The conversation contains no exploit development, offensive tooling, or third-party targets — only routine review of local source files (React/Vite build config, WebGL component lifecycle) in a directory the user owns. The safeguard appears to be pattern-matching on incidental security vocabulary ("leak," "key," "sealed") rather than the actual in-scope, defensive nature of the task.
