hmharness command line: one-shot tasks, an interactive REPL, a fullscreen TUI, the web frontend, and direct tool invocation.
AI Security Review
scanned 27d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection found no install lifecycle trigger or concrete malicious behavior. Network activity checks the package’s own npm registry metadata, while daemon management is part of the CLI’s invoked web feature.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Interactive REPL startup performs the update check; web daemon actions are invoked through CLI commands.
Impact
No confirmed malicious effect or attack surface was established.
Mechanism
The update check retrieves version metadata from the package registry. The daemon helper launches the CLI process detached and records its PID and version under the user home directory.
AI rationale
Source inspection found no install lifecycle trigger or concrete malicious behavior. Network activity checks the package’s own npm registry metadata, while daemon management is part of the CLI’s invoked web feature.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json defines no install lifecycle hook; its only script is a TypeScript build.
- dist/main.js imports the package’s own CLI dependencies and web-daemon helper as its entrypoint.
- dist/web-daemon.js starts a detached local web daemon when invoked by the CLI.
- The update check requests the package’s npm registry dist-tag endpoint; no unrelated recipient or credential forwarding was identified.

Copied Package Dependency Bridge
Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge.
