## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was found. The package is a user-invoked CLI that can optionally install its own per-user service.

- **Trigger:** Running \`p4c\`; persistence requires the explicit \`p4c service install\` command.

- **Impact:** It can run a local coding-agent server and, when requested, keep that server running for the user.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/bin.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T15:30:07.973Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** CLI server with optional per-user service setup.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no npm lifecycle hook, credential archive, or credential upload. The observed network request is a bounded npm version check, while persistence is behind an explicit CLI command.

- **Files touched:** dist/bin.mjs

- **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The optional service command writes and enables a per-user background service., The CLI entrypoint runs only when the installed binary is invoked.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or other lifecycle script., No source evidence supports the scanner claim of credential archiving or registry upload; the observed registry request is a version check., The service installation path is an explicit \`p4c service install\` command, not an npm-install side effect.
