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

AI Security Review

scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection found first-party agent configuration setup that affects later agent sessions, which warrants a warning under the agent integration policy. The manifest's prepublishOnly command builds the package, and the inspected runtime operations do not establish a publish-blocking attack.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Running the Telora connect setup flow.

Impact

Subsequent agent sessions may load Telora-provided instructions, hooks, or MCP tools.

Mechanism

The flow writes project and agent configuration, and may merge workstation tracking hooks into user Claude settings when telora-ai is present.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/cli/connect.jsdist/cli/connect/claude.jsdist/cli/connect/config-write.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 80.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The manifest defines prepublishOnly as a build and metadata-stamping command, with no install-time hook.
The connect command provisions agent scaffolding and MCP registrations in project or agent configuration.
The Claude connector merges Telora settings into existing configuration and writes the result when it changes.
The connect flow can also register workstation tracking and merge hooks into user Claude settings when telora-ai is available.
The inspected worktree and shell operations concern dependency installation analysis and daemon configuration reloads; they do not establish a package-install attack.

Evidence against

The configuration setup is part of the explicit connect flow, and the manifest's lifecycle command is prepublishOnly.
The cited runtime operations show worktree dependency installation, install-script analysis, and configuration reload behavior rather than credential transfer or destructive actions.

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.
