## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.18.7
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

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.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack was identified. The inspected network check is limited to the npm registry, and daemon management is exposed through the CLI.

- **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.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T04:51:28.440Z

### AI review details

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

- **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.

- **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.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/main.js, dist/web-daemon.js, dist/update-check.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/-/package/@hmharness/cli/dist-tags

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **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.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @hmharness/cli@0.18.7.

- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.

## Public findings

### 1. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 2. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 3. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references environment variables.

### 4. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 5. High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 83.0%
- **Path:** dist/main.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.18.7/dist/main.js>)

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

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
package = @hmharness/cli; repositoryIdentity = hmharness; dependency = @hmharness/agent
L31: import { harmonyTools } from '@hmharness/domain-harmony';
L32: import { baseTools, buildRegistry, buildSystemPrompt, runAgentTask, strings } from '@hmharness/agent';
L33: const DIM = (s) => `\x1b[2m${s}\x1b[0m`;
```

### 6. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 7. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 8. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 9. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** dist/web-daemon.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.18.7/dist/web-daemon.js>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @hmharness/cli@0.14.24
matchedIdentity = npm:QGhtaGFybmVzcy9jbGk:0.14.24
similarity = 0.556
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```

### 10. Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 91.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.18.7/package.json>)

package.json defines no install lifecycle hook; its only script is a TypeScript build.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
"scripts": {
    "build": "tsc -p tsconfig.build.json"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@hmharness/kernel": "0.9.7",
    "@hmharness/observability": "0.7.4",
```

### 11. Low: Suspicious Dependency Evidence
- **Category:** Dependency
- **Confidence:** 91.0%
- **Path:** dist/main.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.18.7/dist/main.js>)

dist/main.js imports the package’s own CLI dependencies and web-daemon helper as its entrypoint.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
import { stopWebDaemon, startWebDaemon, hmhWebUp, readWebPid } from "./web-daemon.js";
import { chat, homeDir, resolveProvider, initHome, latestSession, listProviders, listSessions, loadConfig, loadTranscr
```

### 12. Low: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 91.0%
- **Path:** dist/web-daemon.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@hmharness/cli@0.18.7/dist/web-daemon.js>)

dist/web-daemon.js starts a detached local web daemon when invoked by the CLI.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
killed = true;
        }
        catch { /* best effort */ }
    }
    return killed;
}
/** Spawn the daemon (no window, detached). Returns the pid. Records the
 *  spawning CLI's version so a
