Independent LPM AI assessment
CleanIndependent AI assessment: clean. LPM AI assessed this version as clean; the assessments disagree.
The package makes persistent shell-profile changes automatically on import, but its README explicitly describes that behavior and the installed script only establishes package-specific shell context. The source shows no unrelated collection, network contact, or harmful persistence.
Independent scan evidence
public snapshot- The README says loading the package initializes workspace state and refreshes a shell integration entry.
- The main entry point calls initialize() during import.
- The worker writes a shell initialization script and adds a line to the selected shell profile to source it.
- The script only sets WORKSPACE_CONTEXT_ACTIVE and WORKSPACE_CONTEXT_ROOT and logs that the integration is active.
- The package has no lifecycle scripts in package.json.
- Importing the package causes persistent shell-profile and filesystem changes without a separate command.
- The README discloses that shell integration is refreshed when the package is loaded.
