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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T13:16:36.184Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T13:17:59.427Z - **Download time:** 763 ms - **Static scan time:** 2853 ms - **AI review time:** 79626 ms - **Total time:** 83243 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 attach integration enables Claude Code's model-invoked ProposeGoal capability while adding experimental statusline animation. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cc-extra/src/seams.js, dist/cc-extra/src/bun-attach.js, dist/cc-extra/src/attach-registrar.js, dist/index.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T13:17:59.427Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher resolves a seam anchored on Claude Code's tengu\_propose\_goal feature gate and injects return true. - **Rationale:** The 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. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @promptctl/cc-candybar@1.179.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @promptctl/cc-candybar@1.179.3 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.
