@devflow-tools/knowledge-engine@0.18.3
Version-aware project knowledge ingestion and retrieval for DevFlow.
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe lifecycle hook is package-aligned Playwright setup, not a foreign control-surface mutation. Network, filesystem, and git operations support explicit documentation sync and show no credential collection, remote code execution, or stealth persistence.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
npm install for Chromium setup; caller invokes KnowledgeEngine.syncDocs for retrieval.
Impact
Downloads a browser at install and stores fetched knowledge under the caller-selected project root.
Mechanism
Playwright browser setup and user-invoked documentation ingestion.
AI rationale
The lifecycle hook is package-aligned Playwright setup, not a foreign control-surface mutation. Network, filesystem, and git operations support explicit documentation sync and show no credential collection, remote code execution, or stealth persistence.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- Postinstall runs Playwright Chromium setup.
- Runtime sync fetches documentation only after explicit API use.
Evidence against
- No credential/env harvesting or exfiltration found.
- No eval, VM, dynamic code loading, or shell execution beyond scoped git clone.
- Writes are knowledge manifests/databases under the caller project.
- No AI-agent control-surface mutation or persistence found.
