@promptctl/cc-candybar@1.179.3
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 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package deliberately forces Claude Code's tengu_propose_goal gate to true, exposing a model-invoked capability beyond the package's statusline purpose. The behavior is tied to the user's experimental statusline choice, so this is a warning-level capability concern rather than a basis to block the package.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user enables experimental statusline animation for the session, which restarts Claude Code under the attach launcher.
Impact
The model can be offered a goal-setting tool that Claude Code's own gate would otherwise disable; this extends behavior beyond rendering a statusline.
Mechanism
The launcher resolves a seam anchored on Claude Code's tengu_propose_goal feature gate and injects return true.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 96.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The source says Claude Code already includes the ProposeGoal tool but excludes it from the offered tools through isEnabled().
- A seam matches the tengu_propose_goal feature gate and injects return true.
- The attach launcher resolves and applies the seam definitions to the Claude Code process.
- The package describes this attach launcher as starting only when the user enables experimental statusline animation for the session.
- The separate statusline-push behavior connects to cc-candybar's local daemon socket to stream rendered frames.
Evidence against
- The feature-gate change is reached through the experimental statusline option, rather than an install hook or default import action.
- The other inspected attach behavior supports the package's stated statusline animation purpose.
