info ~~warn~~ → info by review dynamic-import packages/babel-helper-validator-identifier/scripts/generate-identifier-regex.ts:23:9 new in this release

dynamic `import(...)` with a non-literal specifier (ast pass, confidence 0.80)

const start = (
  await import(`${unicodePackageName}/Binary_Property/ID_Start/ranges.mjs`)
).default;
const cont = (
```
likely benign LLM, confidence 0.85 A build script dynamically imports the ID_Start Unicode ranges module from a Unicode data package to generate an identifier regex.
Reasoning
This is an AST dynamic-import finding in a build-time script that generates identifier regexes. The specifier is a template literal built from unicodePackageName plus a fixed Unicode property path (ID_Start/ranges.mjs). That is a normal way to load a versioned Unicode data package in a generator script. Nothing in the snippet is attacker-controlled or fetched from the network, and the import is not used to run decoded content. The one doubt is that unicodePackageName's definition is not shown, but a package-name constant in a generator is the expected pattern.

dynamic `import(...)` with a non-literal specifier (ast pass, confidence 0.80)
```
const cont = (
  await import(`${unicodePackageName}/Binary_Property/ID_Continue/ranges.mjs`)
).default;
```
likely benign LLM, confidence 0.85 A build script dynamically imports the ID_Continue Unicode ranges module from a Unicode data package to generate an identifier regex.
Reasoning
This is the companion dynamic import for the ID_Continue ranges in the same generator script. It has the same structure: a template literal over a package-name variable and a fixed Unicode data path. It is a legitimate module load for generating regex tables, not an obfuscated or dropper-style execution path. The same caveat applies: the variable's source is not shown, but nothing here suggests malicious intent.
