## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 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:** 1.23.4
- **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 hooks perform local workflow-state initialization and conditional Git-hook setup. The agent-stack changes are documented and run only through an explicit setup command; no malicious behavior was identified.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-03T01:53:48.466Z

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; reviewed lifecycle hooks and automatic startup behavior match the package’s workflow-server purpose.

- **Trigger:** npm install runs the local state initializer; Husky setup requires a Git checkout. Broader agent setup requires an explicit command.

- **Impact:** No unsolicited credential collection, unrelated network contact, or automatic agent-configuration write was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T01:54:55.072Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Lifecycle code writes workflow state locally. The separately invoked setup script registers the documented OpenCode stack and creates AGENTS.md if missing.

- **Rationale:** The install hooks perform local workflow-state initialization and conditional Git-hook setup. The agent-stack changes are documented and run only through an explicit setup command; no malicious behavior was identified.

- **Files touched:** install.js, scripts/install-husky.js, scripts/setup-stack.js

### 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 local \`.state/workflow-state.json\` file and skips when installation runs inside \`node\_modules\`., The prepare hook skips Husky setup unless the package directory is a Git checkout., The broader OpenCode and AGENTS.md setup runs only when \`scripts/setup-stack.js\` is invoked directly, and the README documents that command and its effects., The MCP server starts only when \`index.js\` is run directly.
