 * I noticed this today within my scans. Is this part of the theme, as I’m being
   informed that it is not.

 * Hello there!
 * The composer.phar file is created by composer. It’s used to handle archives within
   PHP projects. You can read more about it here:
    [https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md)
 * This file is not needed for the plugin to work outside development and was added
   by accident in 2.2.0. It is safe to remove the file. We are very sorry about 
   this!
