@promptctl/cc-candybar@1.177.0
Statusline renderer for Claude Code — a JSON5-configurable DSL with daemon-cached data sources, byte-clean palette-aware composition, and OSC8 click verbs.
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install-time hook, and the inspected process and network behavior supports the statusline CLI, explicit setup, version checks, and pricing display. The Unicode finding is a parser whitespace character, not a bidi control.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
The CLI runs when invoked; setup and the registry version check run on an explicit install command.
Impact
No unauthorized data transfer or harmful action was identified.
Mechanism
The CLI processes statusline input, can launch the selected Claude binary for its attach feature, and requests package version metadata and pricing data.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install-time hook, and the inspected process and network behavior supports the statusline CLI, explicit setup, version checks, and pricing display. The Unicode finding is a parser whitespace character, not a bidi control.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest points to a CLI bundle and declares a bin entry.
- The only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs checks and a build; there is no install hook.
- The CLI maps install to an explicit command that stages the runtime, updates the statusline setting, and checks the package's latest registry version.
- The registry request reads the package's dist-tag; a separate GitHub URL is used for model pricing data.
- The invisible BOM character is handled as parser whitespace; the searched bidi controls were absent.
- The attach helper starts the selected binary with inherited stdio and environment, consistent with its documented launcher role.
