⚠ Under review

Agent orchestration daemon for Telora - spawns and manages Claude Code instances

AI Security Review

scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The inspected manifest has no install-time hook, and the reviewed configuration and update excerpts are consistent with explicit product operations. Because broader runtime behavior and agent integration paths remain unresolved, the available evidence does not support a clean or malicious verdict.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Runtime update, worktree verification, or the explicit connect command.

Impact

No confirmed harmful effect; broader runtime behavior remains unresolved.

Mechanism

The inspected code installs package versions, provisions worktree dependencies, and writes Telora configuration; the available excerpts do not show an attack chain.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 47.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

package.json defines prepublishOnly as a build step and has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
The connect flow performs workstation setup during the connect command and only registers telora-ai when it is found on PATH.
The connect configuration writer stores the supplied Telora URL and tracker ID in the daemon configuration.
The self-update module installs a requested daemon version from its configured update channel.
Worktree provisioning runs npm ci in a package directory; the inspected excerpt does not establish its full activation path or scope.
The audit hook excerpt describes a write-deny overlay for a read-only audit team.

7 * Self-update mechanism for the Telora daemon.

8 *

9 * Handles the full update lifecycle:

10 * 1. Detect installation mode (npm global, npx cache, or git source)

11 * 2. Dependency-ordered rebuild chain for git source mode

12 * 3. Pre-update snapshot for rollback

13 * 4. Update orchestration (stop engines, update, restart)

14 * 5. Version check and up-to-date detection

15 * 6. Migration auto-apply after update

16 *

17 * Three installation modes:

18 * - **npm**: Installed globally via `npm install -g @telora/daemon`.

19 * Updates via `npm install -g --@telora:registry=<channel> @telora/daemon@latest`

20 * (the update channel: npmjs unless TELORA_REGISTRY_URL overrides it).

21 * - **npx**: Running from an ephemeral npx cache (`~/.npm/_npx/<hash>/`).

22 * Self-update can't replace the running binary in place. The update path

23 * clears the npx cache and instructs the user to re-run via `npx`, which

24 * will then fetch the latest version. Auto-update is disabled.

25 * - **git**: Running from a git checkout (development mode).

26 * Updates via `git pull` + dependency-ordered rebuild.
