## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 17 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:** 1.162.3
- **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 manifest has no install hook, and the reviewed JavaScript does not establish an attack. The installer can stage native companion executables whose behavior was not reviewable, so this package needs manual review.

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 confirmed in the inspected JavaScript. Review remains unresolved because an installer can stage an opaque native companion as the runtime renderer.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes the package installer on a platform with a matching optional companion.

- **Impact:** The companion runs as the statusline renderer, so its behavior cannot be assessed from the available source.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.mjs, .lpm-dependency-evidence-a106c160-9937-48c7-b79e-297aef0f75f8/0/npm-linux/bin/cc-candybar, .lpm-dependency-evidence-a106c160-9937-48c7-b79e-297aef0f75f8/1/npm-linux/bin/cc-candybar, .lpm-dependency-evidence-a106c160-9937-48c7-b79e-297aef0f75f8/2/npm-linux/bin/cc-candybar

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T07:22:55.753Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The bundle selects the platform-specific companion executable and stages it in the user support directory; the captured executable bytes could not be source-inspected.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install hook, and the reviewed JavaScript does not establish an attack. The installer can stage native companion executables whose behavior was not reviewable, so this package needs manual review.

- **Files touched:** package.json, dist/index.mjs, .lpm-dependency-evidence-a106c160-9937-48c7-b79e-297aef0f75f8/0/npm-linux/bin/cc-candybar, .lpm-dependency-evidence-a106c160-9937-48c7-b79e-297aef0f75f8/1/npm-linux/bin/cc-candybar, .lpm-dependency-evidence-a106c160-9937-48c7-b79e-297aef0f75f8/2/npm-linux/bin/cc-candybar

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 78.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest lists a prepublishOnly build check and no install lifecycle hook., The manifest declares optional platform-specific native companions; inspected companion manifests describe prebuilt renderer binaries., The bundle selects a companion executable for the current platform and architecture, falling back to the Node shim if none is available., The installer copies the selected executable into the support directory and marks it executable., Read-only inspection could not review the captured companion executable bytes, leaving their runtime behavior unresolved.

- **Evidence against:** The native companions are declared as optional platform-specific renderer packages under the same package scope., The bundle’s reviewed behavior stages the selected renderer during installation; no malicious action was confirmed in the inspected JavaScript.
