Google marking PostHog code remotely "hosted code" for chrome extension.

Bug description

So I have a extension (published on chrome WebStore) .The extension itself is a quick video (screen/camera) recorder. and I am using PostHog to collect user events. in my last release I updated the PostHog version
from 1.105.7 -> 1.154.1

I am using Javascript offering of PostHog, and sending these event from browser/client.

and for this release I got a warning from the Chrome WebStore team, indicating that I am using remotely "hosted code".
So a little context, I am using Manifest V3, for said extension, and in V3, every piece of code that want to use needs to be bundled with the extension itself. hence the no "Hosted code" allowed.

export const initPosthog = (user: User): void => {
  const posthogKey = isInternalUser(user.email) ? POSTHOG_API_KEY_INTERNAL : POSTHOG_API_KEY;
  if (!posthogKey) return;
  posthog.init(posthogKey, {
    ui_host: 'https://app.posthog.com',
    api_host: 'https://<posthog_api_host>/ingest',
    loaded(posthog_instance) {
      if (user) {
        posthog_instance.identify(user.user_id, {
          email: user.email,
          origin: 'extension'
        });
        posthog_instance.opt_in_capturing();
        posthog_instance.capture('user', {
          property: {
            'User ID': user.user_id,
            Name: user.name,
            Email: user.email
          }
        });
      }
    }
  });
};

I am sending these events to my to a Next App which is <postho_api_host/>, which simply redirects these events to PostHog, I am doing these to avoid these being denied/blocked by adblockers

const nextConfig = {
  nx: {
    svgr: false
  },
  async rewrites() {
    return [
      {
        source: "/ingest/:path(.*)",
        destination: "https://app.posthog.com/:path*",
      },
    ];
  }
};

If anyone have faced similar issue, It would love to listen from you. Please let me know if there is any more piece of information, that any one thinks could clear it further for readers.
