Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• binaries.prisma.sh
  • Triggering command: node scripts/postinstall.js (dns block)
  • Triggering command: node /home/REDACTED/work/CS5500-Project/CS5500-Project/Server/node_modules/prisma/build/index.js generate --postinstall "UNABLE_TO_FIND_POSTINSTALL_TRIGGER__ENVAR_MISSING" (dns block)
• img.shields.io
  • Triggering command: curl -s -o /dev/null -w %{http_code} REDACTED (dns block)
  • Triggering command: curl -I REDACTED (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
