EmDash taps Cloudflare's Clef to screen every plugin listing

EmDash uses Clef to moderate the plugin registry

EmDash's plugin registry now uses Cloudflare's Clef decision model to screen every listing for phishing, impersonation, scams, and offensive content. Clef asks nine questions about text and links, eight per image, returning probabilities; scores of 0.45 or higher go to human review. The multimodal model replaced a slower multi-model pipeline, passing all public regression tests with 1.64s p95 latency, while keeping signed releases available from authors' own accounts.

Previously we had to use a mix of models to get reliable results, but Clef beat them all, while being much faster.

    Unless I'm missing something, the current plugin registry [0] is pretty useless compared to WordPress or even Envato without stats for number of installs, ratings, and reviews/comments.
