See the docs here: https://www.tug.org/texinfohtml/dvips.html#Option-details-1 -dSAFER flag added to two ghostscript / ps calls which were missing it. May be the default, but now it's explicit, see the docs here: https://ghostscript.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Use.html#dsafer AI Disclosure Claude used for the audit (found a few more spots to hit!), code manually reviewed PR checklist [n/a] "closes #0000" is in the body of the PR description to link the related issue new and changed code is tested [n/a] Plotting related features are demonstrated in an example [n/a] New Features and API Changes are noted with a directive and release note Documentation complies with general and docstring guidelines
