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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T21:11:17.610Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T21:12:29.086Z - **Download time:** 1768 ms - **Static scan time:** 2861 ms - **AI review time:** 66846 ms - **Total time:** 71476 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:** The animated statusline attach mode also enables Claude Code’s model ProposeGoal feature. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cc-extra/src/seams.js, dist/cc-extra/src/bun-attach.js, dist/index.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T21:12:29.086Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher applies a runtime seam that forces the \`tengu\_propose\_goal\` feature gate to return true. - **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. - **Files touched:** dist/cc-extra/src/seams.js, dist/cc-extra/src/bun-attach.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @promptctl/cc-candybar@1.178.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @promptctl/cc-candybar@1.178.1 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.
