## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack was identified in the required source paths. The manifest's hooks run during packaging, and the inspected shell helper dispatches the Deft CLI.

- **Trigger:** Package packing or explicit invocation of a Deft hook.

- **Impact:** No confirmed malicious effect or attack surface was established from the inspected behavior.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T15:50:07.235Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The prepack hook stages content; the postpack hook removes generated package-directory contents. The shell helper selects a local or global CLI.

- **Rationale:** The inspected manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook. The required shell helper and test show CLI dispatch and argument-handling checks, with no confirmed credential harvesting, exfiltration, or malicious mutation.

- **Files touched:** package.json, .githooks/\_deft-run.sh, tasks/engine-invoke.test.cjs

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest defines packaging hooks only; it has no install-time lifecycle hook., The shell helper resolves and runs the Deft CLI based on explicit environment preference and local/global availability., The test passes controlled environment variables to a local process and checks command argument handling.
