Runtime networking observed is localhost/Unix-socket service behavior; issue submission requires an explicit feedback command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-29T17:26:11.953Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-29T17:26:56.646Z - **Download time:** 777 ms - **Static scan time:** 4075 ms - **AI review time:** 39840 ms - **Total time:** 44693 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install-time behavior creates a package-owned immutable runtime under ~/.crouter/runtime and patches a precisely pinned direct dependency. Runtime networking observed is localhost/Unix-socket service behavior; issue submission requires an explicit feedback command. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; explicit crtr sys feedback or runtime web-server commands - **Impact:** No confirmed malicious attack surface or unconsented broad AI-agent control-surface mutation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/install-runtime.mjs, scripts/patch-pi-tree-root-ordering.mjs, bin/runtime-selector.mjs, dist/clients/web/server.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-29T17:26:56.646Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** package-owned runtime bootstrap, pinned dependency compatibility patch, and local agent service - **Rationale:** The lifecycle behavior is substantial but source-aligned: it builds and integrity-checks a package-owned runtime and applies a narrow version-pinned compatibility patch. No concrete malicious chain, secret theft, exfiltration, or foreign/broad agent-control mutation was identified. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/install-runtime.mjs, scripts/patch-pi-tree-root-ordering.mjs, bin/runtime-selector.mjs, ~/.crouter/runtime, ~/.crouter/feedback, node\_modules/@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent/dist/modes/interactive/components/tree-selector.js - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/crouton-labs/crouter/issues, http://127.0.0.1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall runs scripts/postinstall.mjs., Postinstall patches one pinned pi dependency file and installs a runtime under ~/.crouter/runtime. - **Evidence against:** scripts/postinstall.mjs skips runtime installation in CI and treats failures as non-fatal., scripts/install-runtime.mjs packages this package, uses npm ci --ignore-scripts, and validates/seals the generated runtime., bin/runtime-selector.mjs dynamically imports only a validated entry inside the selected runtime generation., Feedback network action is only the explicit crtr sys feedback command via gh., dist/clients/web/server.js serves a local HTTP endpoint and proxies to a local Unix socket., No credential harvesting, covert exfiltration, foreign agent-config mutation, or remote payload download was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
