AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection resolves the lifecycle and agent-integration flags as bounded Catalyst product behavior. The postinstall migration applies only to a recognized older Catalyst runner updater, and no concrete attack behavior was found.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A global npm install invokes the postinstall hook; repository and Codex configuration changes require explicit CLI modes.
Impact
No confirmed harmful effect; the existing Catalyst runner update schedule continues using the newer CLI.
Mechanism
The hook may repoint an existing older Catalyst updater to this CLI. It does not target unrelated agent configuration or install a remote payload.
AI rationale
Source inspection resolves the lifecycle and agent-integration flags as bounded Catalyst product behavior. The postinstall migration applies only to a recognized older Catalyst runner updater, and no concrete attack behavior was found.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest’s postinstall hook runs bin/postinstall.js; the script gates it to global installs and provides an opt-out.
- The hook repoints only a recognized Catalyst runner updater; it skips unrecognized agents and only migrates an older Catalyst CLI. The updater uses the same Catalyst runner command and schedule.
- Repository agent setup writes only when the user supplies --apply or --write. Claude plugin updates require an installed, approved plugin and an enabled owner policy.
- Codex attribution reads an account ID locally and maps it to an account slot; account-list refresh uses the configured Catalyst Cloud client, while applying environment changes requires an explicit mode.
- Inspected dependency entrypoints expose the Catalyst SDK and terminal formatting utilities; the replica source describes an optional local feature.
