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

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 1.160.0
- **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The inspected manifest and JavaScript show a statusline CLI with a native-render path, but no confirmed attack behavior. The selected Linux x64 native dependency could not be inspected because its files are absent from the snapshot, so manual review is warranted.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-27T10:10:29.280Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-27T10:15:55.941Z
- **Download time:** 764 ms
- **Static scan time:** 2117 ms
- **AI review time:** 323779 ms
- **Total time:** 326661 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 malicious action is confirmed in the inspected JavaScript. The CLI selects a platform-specific native renderer, but the Linux x64 dependency files are absent from this snapshot, so that executable remains unreviewed.

- **Trigger:** When the CLI selects the native renderer for the current platform, including during setup that stages it.

- **Impact:** The unreviewed executable may run as the renderer; its behavior cannot be established from the available files.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-27T10:15:55.941Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The bundle maps Linux x64 to an optional package and resolves its native executable.

- **Rationale:** The inspected manifest and JavaScript show a statusline CLI with a native-render path, but no confirmed attack behavior. The selected Linux x64 native dependency could not be inspected because its files are absent from the snapshot, so manual review is warranted.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/index.mjs

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 78.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest exposes a CLI and lists a prepublishOnly build/check script; no install hook appeared in the inspected lifecycle scripts., The bundle maps Linux x64 to an optional platform package and resolves its native cc-candybar executable for the render path., The three inspected platform package manifests describe their contents as native render-path binaries., The declared Linux x64 native package has no manifest or executable files in this snapshot, leaving that selected executable unreviewed.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected JavaScript does not establish credential collection or transfer, or another concrete attack.

## Affected versions and remediation
