## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 19 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:** 0.78.1
- **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.

Static inspection found no concrete attack behavior. The scanner’s structural and Unicode flags were not proof of malicious behavior, and the inspected package manifest has no install lifecycle hook.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-19T11:09:42.753Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-19T11:10:31.632Z
- **Download time:** 1006 ms
- **Static scan time:** 2740 ms
- **AI review time:** 45130 ms
- **Total time:** 48879 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 source excerpts. The package exposes a CLI and workflow tools whose inspected file, network and process operations appear tied to those functions.

- **Trigger:** Using the CLI or calling the exported runtime functions.

- **Impact:** The inspected behavior does not establish unauthorized access, credential transfer, persistence or destructive activity.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T11:10:31.632Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The inspected code lists local skills and runs, builds event URLs through its client, and uses process APIs in remote-project, daemon and workflow features.

- **Rationale:** Static inspection found no concrete attack behavior. The scanner’s structural and Unicode flags were not proof of malicious behavior, and the inspected package manifest has no install lifecycle hook.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 78.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines prepublishOnly as build commands and lists the CLI entrypoint; it has no install lifecycle hook., The skills module scans local skill directories and its save operation writes a named skill file under an agent skills directory., The live client builds event URLs through the configured client; the run listing reads local output directories., The inspected frontend bundle excerpts begin with asset dependency maps or editor-library code., The inspected remote, vibeable, daemon and runner excerpts show Git or process APIs in product functions; they do not establish malicious execution.
