## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 19 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 1.19.15
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 install hook creates only local workflow state, while runtime monitoring is off unless a user configures \`DEVWF\_MONITOR\_URL\`. The flagged setup and download behavior is confined to explicitly invoked setup scripts and uses the named tools’ expected sources.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-01T16:56:16.251Z
- **Finished:** 2026-11-01T16:57:14.475Z
- **Download time:** 761 ms
- **Static scan time:** 972 ms
- **AI review time:** 56490 ms
- **Total time:** 58224 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; inspected automatic behavior initializes local workflow state, and optional monitoring requires a configured URL.

- **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall initializer; workflow reporting occurs during runtime only when configured; stack setup and bootstrap require explicit invocation.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized data collection, credential theft, or unrelated automatic actions were identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T16:57:14.475Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The initializer creates a project-local state file. The monitor sends workflow metadata to the configured endpoint. Setup modifies OpenCode configuration and can install the RTK tool when explicitly run.

- **Rationale:** The install hook creates only local workflow state, while runtime monitoring is off unless a user configures \`DEVWF\_MONITOR\_URL\`. The flagged setup and download behavior is confined to explicitly invoked setup scripts and uses the named tools’ expected sources.

- **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rtk-ai/rtk/refs/heads/master/install.sh (explicit bootstrap), https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git (explicit setup)

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook initializes a project-local \`.state/workflow-state.json\` and leaves an existing state file intact., Runtime monitor reporting is disabled unless \`DEVWF\_MONITOR\_URL\` is set, and its documented payload is workflow metadata rather than file contents., The OpenCode stack setup runs only when its script is invoked directly; its config and agent setup are explicit setup behavior., The bootstrap script downloads the RTK installer from its official GitHub host only when the user runs the bootstrap and RTK is missing.
