Research direction

The work centers on the AUR starter files, most likely the PKGBUILD and any notes or docs that sit beside it, plus the repo's current install and release layout that the scaffold should match. Start by reading the PKGBUILD and comparing its assumptions with how the project installs today. Finish when the runtime dependencies for Arch are documented and the scaffold matches the current layout; the issue does not name a test or a check to run, so confirm the target with the maintainer first.
