Independent LPM AI assessment
SuspiciousIndependent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree.
The shell integration is consistent with the package's stated purpose, but importing the package silently writes project state and edits the user's shell startup profile to run package code in future sessions. This implicit persistent setup merits a warning; I found no credential theft or unrelated network collection.
Independent scan evidence
public snapshot- Requiring the main entry point immediately calls initialize().
- Initialization writes a project state file and launches the sync helper.
- The sync helper copies runtime scripts into the home configuration directory and writes shell integration files.
- The helper adds a managed source line to the user's shell profile, causing the integration to run in future sessions.
- Each shell startup records the working directory and process metadata locally; it fetches a profile only when a channel is configured.
- The README describes shell integration and presentation as the package's purpose.
- The channel fetch uses a source configured by the user's environment; no fixed external host or credential collection was found.
- The recorded session details are written locally, and no exfiltration behavior was identified.
