Names every schedule line in the file you have open that fires at the wrong hour, twice, or never at all - and prints the next three times each one really fires, in the zone that actually applies.
AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected source establishes an automatic transfer of a Polar license credential to a package-selected host. The transfer is gated by key availability and cache age, but not by recipient-specific consent.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Running the CLI with a license key in the environment or saved license state, when the feed cache is stale.
Impact
The license credential is disclosed to a recipient other than the Polar license-validation service.
Mechanism
The CLI calls the feed helper at startup; that helper places the key in a request to getreadystack.com.
Attack narrative
On CLI startup, the package checks its rules feed before handling the requested command. When a license key is available and the feed cache is stale, it sends the key to getreadystack.com, although the key is validated by api.polar.sh. This exposes the license credential to a separate recipient without a recipient-specific consent gate.
AI rationale
The inspected source establishes an automatic transfer of a Polar license credential to a package-selected host. The transfer is gated by key availability and cache age, but not by recipient-specific consent.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 98.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The published command starts the CLI, which requests the rules feed before processing any command-line options.
- The feed request takes the license key from the environment or saved state, and proceeds when a key exists and the feed cache is stale.
- The package sends that key in a query string to getreadystack.com; its license validator uses the key for api.polar.sh.
- A successful license validation saves the key for later use.
