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 do not contact a collector or access credentials: postinstall only creates an absent workflow-state file, and prepare skips Husky setup outside a Git checkout. Configuration changes and the RTK download belong to separately invoked setup scripts and match the package's stated purpose. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T10:18:13.046Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T10:18:52.941Z - **Download time:** 770 ms - **Static scan time:** 1088 ms - **AI review time:** 38035 ms - **Total time:** 39895 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. The lifecycle hooks and setup helpers perform workflow and developer-tool setup consistent with the package's purpose. - **Trigger:** npm lifecycle hooks run during installation; broader OpenCode and project configuration changes require the user to run the setup command. The RTK bootstrap is a separate user-invoked shell script. - **Impact:** Expected setup effects are workflow-state creation and developer-tool configuration. No automatic credential collection, unrelated data transfer, or destructive action was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T10:18:52.941Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall initializes an absent workflow state file; prepare skips Husky outside a Git checkout. The setup command registers the MCP server and plugin and may add project guidance. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hooks do not contact a collector or access credentials: postinstall only creates an absent workflow-state file, and prepare skips Husky setup outside a Git checkout. Configuration changes and the RTK download belong to separately invoked setup scripts and match the package's stated purpose. - **Files touched:** INIT\_CWD/.state/workflow-state.json, OpenCode configDir/opencode.json, OpenCode configDir/secrets/opencode-backup-\.json, INIT\_CWD/AGENTS.md - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rtk-ai/rtk/refs/heads/master/install.sh, https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git, https://opencode.ai/config.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest declares prepare and postinstall hooks., postinstall skips execution from inside node\_modules and creates an initial .state/workflow-state.json only when that file is absent., The prepare hook skips Husky setup when the package directory has no .git checkout., OpenCode configuration and AGENTS.md changes are performed by the separate setup script when directly run., The Unix bootstrap downloads RTK's installer from its named GitHub repository only when the user invokes the bootstrap and RTK is missing. - **Evidence against:** postinstall does write workflow state into the directory where npm install was invoked., The explicit setup command can modify OpenCode configuration and add an AGENTS.md file to the target project. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.18.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.18.1 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.
