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 lifecycle hooks perform package-related setup: they initialize an empty workflow state file and skip Husky setup outside a Git checkout. Broader agent configuration changes are in a separate, directly invoked setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T04:14:24.835Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T04:14:59.029Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 517 ms - **AI review time:** 33168 ms - **Total time:** 34194 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 identified. Install hooks initialize package workflow state and conditionally set up Husky in a Git checkout. - **Trigger:** npm installation; broader OpenCode and AGENTS.md setup requires directly running the setup command. - **Impact:** No credential collection, unrelated network contact, or harmful account action was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T04:14:59.029Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall script creates an empty \`.state/workflow-state.json\` in the invoking project if absent. The prepare script attempts Husky setup only when the package directory is a Git checkout. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hooks perform package-related setup: they initialize an empty workflow state file and skip Husky setup outside a Git checkout. Broader agent configuration changes are in a separate, directly invoked setup command. - **Files touched:** \/.state/workflow-state.json, Git hooks in the package checkout, if present ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The automatic postinstall hook initializes workflow state in the project that invoked npm; it skips when that state file already exists., The state file contains workflow status fields and is written under \`.state/workflow-state.json\`., OpenCode and AGENTS.md setup is in a separate setup command that runs only when directly invoked. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.13.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.13.3 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
