## 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:** 1.169.2
- **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 describes a Claude Code statusline renderer and has no install-time lifecycle hook; prepublishOnly runs publishing checks and a build. The reviewed network request is part of the explicit install command, and the default entry path renders statusline output from hook data.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-31T05:45:31.011Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-31T05:46:03.310Z

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; reviewed behavior matches a Claude Code statusline renderer and its explicit setup command.

- **Trigger:** The CLI renders when invoked as a statusline command; setup network access occurs under the explicit install subcommand.

- **Impact:** No evidence in the reviewed excerpts shows automatic collection or sending of host, user, project, or credential data.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T05:46:03.310Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The default path reads hook data from stdin and formats output. The install path contacts the npm registry and updates statusline setup.

- **Rationale:** The manifest describes a Claude Code statusline renderer and has no install-time lifecycle hook; prepublishOnly runs publishing checks and a build. The reviewed network request is part of the explicit install command, and the default entry path renders statusline output from hook data.

- **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org, raw.githubusercontent.com/promptctl/cc-candybar

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest points to a statusline renderer and CLI; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs publishing checks and a build., The CLI dispatches install behavior only for the explicit install subcommand; its default path reads Claude Code hook data from stdin and renders statusline output., The install command contacts registry.npmjs.org while installing the statusline and URL handler., The package bin dynamically imports the bundled ESM entry point.

- **Evidence against:** The bundle uses process, filesystem, child-process, and network APIs; reviewed uses fit CLI, daemon, rendering, and install features., The scanner flagged Unicode controls and command-output/network patterns, but the reviewed excerpts did not establish concealed or unrelated behavior.

## Affected versions and remediation
