Chemical X Protocol: Private drop-in architecture starter kit and capsule generator

AI Security Review

scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The postinstall path inspected prints a hint, while wizard writes are associated with installer actions and guarded by write conditions. Because the declared @chemx/x-atoms runtime dependency remains unverified, the source review cannot support a clean verdict.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source closely matched a different package identity; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Import or use of package features that resolve the runtime dependency.

Impact

The unresolved dependency prevents a clean determination; no concrete harmful behavior was established.

Mechanism

The manifest declares @chemx/x-atoms, but its source was not available for verification in this inspection.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 78.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The manifest runs a postinstall script and declares @chemx/x-atoms as a runtime dependency.
The package’s postinstall code prints an installation hint; its shown direct-run path contains no configuration write.
The package also invokes configuration writes through an installer path, and the wizard applies writes only when its write conditions pass.
The source review data identifies @chemx/x-atoms as metadata-only, leaving its package source unverified.

Evidence against

The installer code invokes the pillars wizard as part of an explicit installer flow; the postinstall source describes a hint-only action.
The inspected wizard applies planned writes only when not in dry-run mode and when no refusal applies.
