## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 16 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:** 1.164.0
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The manifest has no install hook, and the entry point behaves as a statusline CLI that reads hook data for rendering. The reviewed network references serve installation and pricing features; no malicious data flow was established.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-30T11:29:26.705Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-30T11:30:33.365Z

- **Total time:** 66660 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 reviewed behavior fits a Claude Code statusline and its explicit setup commands.

- **Trigger:** Statusline rendering runs when invoked by Claude Code; setup and related management actions require a CLI command.

- **Impact:** No covert collection, unauthorized account action, or other attack behavior was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T11:30:33.365Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The CLI reads hook data and renders output. Observed network requests are tied to installation or fetching pricing data.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install hook, and the entry point behaves as a statusline CLI that reads hook data for rendering. The reviewed network references serve installation and pricing features; no malicious data flow was established.

- **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org, raw.githubusercontent.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 89.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hook; prepublishOnly runs release checks and a build., The bin shim dynamically imports the bundled CLI entry point., The CLI reads Claude Code hook data from stdin and passes it to the statusline renderer., Network references are feature-specific: installation checks the npm registry, and pricing code fetches data from the project’s GitHub host.

- **Evidence against:** The package describes itself as a Claude Code statusline renderer, matching its CLI and stdin rendering flow., The flagged command execution and filesystem access occur in a CLI with project, Git, and daemon management features., The flagged Unicode search found no bidi controls; the FEFF match appears as a whitespace case in bundled code.
