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 scripts perform workflow-related initialization and Git-checkout setup, with no install-time network contact or harmful execution found. The broader agent configuration changes are behind a separate user-invoked setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T08:55:26.096Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T08:56:20.150Z - **Download time:** 513 ms - **Static scan time:** 689 ms - **AI review time:** 52850 ms - **Total time:** 54054 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; installation initializes workflow state, while broader agent setup is explicit. - **Trigger:** npm install initializes missing project state; OpenCode setup requires the separate setup command. - **Impact:** The observed default install side effect is limited to workflow state initialization; no harmful data collection or execution was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T08:56:20.150Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The install hook creates \`.state/workflow-state.json\` if absent. The explicit setup command edits OpenCode configuration and may register plugins and agent instructions. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle scripts perform workflow-related initialization and Git-checkout setup, with no install-time network contact or harmful execution found. The broader agent configuration changes are behind a separate user-invoked setup command. - **Files touched:** \/.state/workflow-state.json, \/opencode.json, \/plugins/, \/AGENTS.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest separates the \`setup\` command from the \`postinstall\` hook, which runs \`install.js\`., The postinstall initializer creates a missing \`.state/workflow-state.json\` in the invoking project and leaves an existing file alone., The Husky prepare script exits without action outside a Git checkout., The broader OpenCode setup runs only when \`setup-stack.js\` is directly invoked, such as through the separate setup command., Factory tools require a configured URL and credentials before using the Factory service. - **Evidence against:** Installation does create project state automatically; the separate setup command can also change OpenCode configuration and add agent setup files when explicitly run. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.14.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.14.1 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.
