warningFlattened or dead control flowDetected switch(true), dead if branches, or deeply nested ternaries — patterns used by obfuscators to hide execution order.Externals/mbedtls/scripts/config.py+3

warningHigh-entropy string literalsFound 5 long strings with high Shannon entropy. This is common in obfuscated payloads that hide URLs, keys, or bytecode.Externals/mGBA/make_version.c.js+3
