      "args": [
        "afterpaths"
      ]
    }

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

pypi package afterpaths - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.burnssa is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
