## 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:** 0.23.37
- **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.

The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected dependencies have ordinary build scripts and package-aligned exports. The flagged installer, update, and process behavior is consistent with the CLI's setup and runtime functions, with no concrete attack behavior established.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-22T03:45:54.860Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-22T03:47:05.116Z
- **Download time:** 1024 ms
- **Static scan time:** 844 ms
- **AI review time:** 68387 ms

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 in the inspected package source.

- **Trigger:** The board setup script runs when invoked directly; CLI update checks run during CLI use.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized data transfer, destructive action, or unconsented agent control change was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T03:47:05.116Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Flagged network and process operations support package-aligned updates, board setup, and local web-daemon management.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected dependencies have ordinary build scripts and package-aligned exports. The flagged installer, update, and process behavior is consistent with the CLI's setup and runtime functions, with no concrete attack behavior established.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest declares only a build script and pins its first-party runtime dependencies to version 0.23.37., The board installer is a separately invoked setup command; its source performs board installation and launcher setup., The agent runner reads project guidance files and passes the result into its system prompt, a normal agent feature., The inspected first-party dependency manifests declare build-only scripts, and their entrypoints export product APIs., The web daemon checks that a port owner is one of its own web daemons before terminating it.

- **Evidence against:** No package install lifecycle hook or malicious install-time action was identified., The flagged network and subprocess behavior is consistent with package updates, explicit board setup, and local daemon management.

A single source file combines environment access, network access, and code or shell execution; review context before blocking.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L339: log('first run: creating config skeleton at ' + HMH_HOME);
L340: const r = spawnSync(nodeBin, [path.join(NM, '@hmharness', 'cli', 'dist', 'main.js'), 'init'], {

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
package = @hmharness/cli; repositoryIdentity = hmharness; dependency = @hmharness/agent
L33: import { harmonyTools } from '@hmharness/domain-harmony';
L34: import { baseTools, buildRegistry, buildSystemPrompt, runAgentTask, strings } from '@hmharness/agent';
