Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package’s optional attach launcher does more than animate the statusline: it overrides a default-false Claude Code feature gate to expose the model’s goal-proposal tool. Because this broader capability is enabled as a side effect of selecting statusline animation, warn rather than block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T09:12:09.388Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T09:13:20.030Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 2168 ms - **AI review time:** 67963 ms - **Total time:** 70642 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:** Optional attach mode changes Claude Code’s runtime feature gate to enable the model’s goal-proposal tool. - **Trigger:** The user enables the optional statusline animation, which restarts Claude Code under the attach launcher. - **Impact:** The model gains access to ProposeGoal, which can enqueue \`/goal \\` in the session; this is a broader agent capability than statusline rendering requires. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cc-extra/src/seams.js, dist/index.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T09:13:20.030Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher applies a seam that makes the \`tengu\_propose\_goal\` gate return true, overriding its default-false server gate. - **Rationale:** The package’s optional attach launcher does more than animate the statusline: it overrides a default-false Claude Code feature gate to expose the model’s goal-proposal tool. Because this broader capability is enabled as a side effect of selecting statusline animation, warn rather than block. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The attach seam targets Claude Code’s ProposeGoal model tool, which can enqueue \`/goal \\` on the session’s message queue., The source says the \`tengu\_propose\_goal\` server-side feature gate defaults to false, then defines a seam that inserts \`return true;\` for it., Enabling the optional statusline animation restarts Claude Code under the attach launcher, where the seams are applied., The package describes itself as a Claude Code statusline renderer; the goal-tool change is a separate capability from rendering the statusline. - **Evidence against:** The package’s setup and primary function are statusline rendering; the attach launcher is used when the user enables the optional statusline animation., The manifest’s \`prepublishOnly\` script runs publishing checks and a build; it is not an install hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @promptctl/cc-candybar@1.176.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @promptctl/cc-candybar@1.176.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
