## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Installation creates an immutable crouter-owned runtime under its own home and patches its bundled pinned dependency; remote actions are explicit CLI features.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall or explicit crouter CLI commands

- **Impact:** No credential harvesting, covert exfiltration, remote payload loading, or broad foreign agent-control mutation was confirmed.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/install-runtime.mjs, scripts/patch-pi-tree-root-ordering.mjs, bin/runtime-selector.mjs, dist/commands/pkg/cli-manage.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-28T22:09:22.658Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** package-owned runtime installation and user-invoked agent/CLI operations

- **Rationale:** The install hook performs package-aligned runtime setup rather than a concrete malicious chain. Dynamic loading and network use are guarded local-runtime or explicit user-command behavior.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/install-runtime.mjs, scripts/patch-pi-tree-root-ordering.mjs, bin/runtime-selector.mjs, dist/commands/pkg/cli-manage.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** \`scripts/postinstall.mjs\` runs at install and creates a package-owned runtime., \`scripts/patch-pi-tree-root-ordering.mjs\` modifies a pinned dependency inside crouter's dependency tree.

- **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no preinstall hook; postinstall only invokes bundled runtime setup., \`scripts/install-runtime.mjs\` packages this project, installs dependencies with \`--ignore-scripts\`, validates and seals its runtime., \`bin/runtime-selector.mjs\` dynamically imports only a validated local runtime generation., GitHub issue filing in \`bin/runtime-selector.mjs\` requires explicit \`crtr sys feedback\` use., \`dist/commands/pkg/cli-manage.js\` fetches endpoints only after explicit registration and keeps credentials in environment variables.
