Did I miss something? I haven't used it in a minute, but why is the author claiming that it's "uninstallable malware"?

Have a read through everything that's needed for a full uninstall: https://gist.github.com/banteg/1a539b88b3c8945cd71e4b958f319...

Minimalist alternative with no hooks or dependencies for the curious: https://github.com/wedow/ticket

It's not really malware, but it's a mess. It installed so much shit and it interfered with your git hooks and stuff. It was kind of messy. I kind of gave up on it. I just went back to using built-in claude code todowrite tasks.

Malware might be a bit of stretch but could refer to this issue?

Maybe they meant un-uninstallable?
