@promptctl/cc-candybar@1.178.1
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 attach path unconditionally enables Claude Code’s ProposeGoal feature, whose gate defaults to false. Since this requires turning on the optional attach mode and is not an install-time action, the behavior is suspicious rather than malicious.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
A user turns on statusline animation, which restarts Claude under the attach launcher.
Impact
Claude’s model can use ProposeGoal despite the feature gate defaulting to false; this behavior is unrelated to rendering the statusline.
Mechanism
The launcher applies a runtime seam that forces the `tengu_propose_goal` feature gate to return true.
AI rationale
The attach path unconditionally enables Claude Code’s ProposeGoal feature, whose gate defaults to false. Since this requires turning on the optional attach mode and is not an install-time action, the behavior is suspicious rather than malicious.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 93.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The seam targets Claude Code’s `tengu_propose_goal` feature gate, which the source describes as a server-side gate that defaults to false.
- The seam unconditionally replaces that gate’s result with `true`.
- The attach launcher applies the seam plan to the Claude process before releasing it.
- The behavior is triggered by turning on the optional animated statusline attach mode, which restarts the session under that launcher.
Evidence against
- The package is a Claude Code statusline renderer, and the attach mode serves its statusline animation feature.
- This behavior is not triggered by package installation; it requires enabling the attach mode.
