Teknium e83816a4d1 review-fix(comments): restore lost #NNNN rationale comments across non-test source (mechanical sweep, condensed, code unchanged)
For each issue anchor present in BASE 63279301bc non-test .py and absent on HEAD, the BASE comment/docstring block was re-attached at the HEAD location of the code it explained (matched by the distinctive code line / enclosing def). Sentences already covered by an existing HEAD comment were deduped; the issue number always survives. Insert-only: no code lines changed.

"""OSV malware check for MCP extension packages.
Before launching an MCP server via npx/uvx, queries Google's free public OSV API for
known malware advisories (MAL-* IDs). Regular CVEs are ignored — only confirmed malware
is blocked. Fail-open: network errors allow the package to proceed (~300ms typical).
Inspired by Block/goose's extension malware check.

# query stream. Clean AND blocked verdicts are reusable; network failures are NOT cached

# on second-to-second timescales, so a successful verdict (clean OR blocked) is reusable. The window is the
