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 flagged lifecycle hooks perform local workflow-state initialization and conditional Husky setup. The setup script that modifies agent configuration is user-invoked, and Factory network requests require configured Factory credentials and explicit tool calls; no malicious collection, concealed execution, or unauthorized account action was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T08:44:55.560Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T08:45:54.685Z - **Download time:** 277 ms - **Static scan time:** 948 ms - **AI review time:** 57899 ms - **Total time:** 59125 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 perform local setup; broader agent setup and Factory network actions require explicit invocation or configuration. - **Trigger:** npm install runs the lifecycle hooks; the OpenCode setup and Unix bootstrap run when explicitly invoked; Factory requests follow calls to Factory tools when credentials are configured. - **Impact:** No automatic credential or project-data exfiltration or unrelated account action was found. User-invoked setup changes agent configuration, and configured Factory calls disclose task/device details to the selected Factory service as part of the integration. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T08:45:54.685Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall hook creates a missing project workflow-state file. The optional setup command registers the MCP server and plugin and updates OpenCode configuration. Configured Factory calls send Factory credentials to the configured Factory service. - **Rationale:** The flagged lifecycle hooks perform local workflow-state initialization and conditional Husky setup. The setup script that modifies agent configuration is user-invoked, and Factory network requests require configured Factory credentials and explicit tool calls; no malicious collection, concealed execution, or unauthorized account action was found. - **Files touched:** .state/workflow-state.json, OpenCode opencode.json configuration, AGENTS.md, ~/.config/programinglive-factory/device.json - **Network endpoints:** FACTORY\_URL (operator-configured), https://pocketbase.programinglive.com, https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rtk-ai/rtk/refs/heads/master/install.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook initializes a missing workflow state file in the invoking project; it skips creating that file when the project root is inside node\_modules., OpenCode integration setup runs only when scripts/setup-stack.js is invoked directly, such as through the declared setup command., Factory tools require the operator to configure a Factory URL and credentials, and network requests occur when those tools are called., Factory requests send the Factory token as a Bearer credential to the configured Factory URL., The Unix bootstrap script’s RTK download-and-run path is an explicit setup step and uses RTK’s GitHub release repository. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has prepare and postinstall hooks, but the inspected hook code performs local setup rather than contacting a collector or transmitting project data., The setup script writes agent configuration and registers integrations, but its setup routine is guarded against import-time execution., The Factory integration uses Factory-specific credentials and is inactive until configured and invoked. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.14.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.14.0 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.
