## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 2.13.1
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The lifecycle hook has CI, nested-install, and existing-file guards and writes only the package's own configuration. The command-output signal corresponds to Git metadata collection in the reporter, while cloud reporting requires a configured API key and uses the package's TestRelic endpoint.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-09T21:52:13.118Z

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:** No attack was identified. The postinstall hook scaffolds an idempotent TestRelic configuration, while the reporter collects project analytics.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its postinstall hook; reporting behavior runs when the reporter or fixtures are used.

- **Impact:** No concrete malicious behavior was established from the inspected source.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T21:52:47.333Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The hook writes a package-specific configuration file. The reporter uses Git metadata and configured cloud credentials for TestRelic reporting; API fixture defaults redact common credential fields.

- **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook has CI, nested-install, and existing-file guards and writes only the package's own configuration. The command-output signal corresponds to Git metadata collection in the reporter, while cloud reporting requires a configured API key and uses the package's TestRelic endpoint.

- **Files touched:** .testrelic/testrelic-config.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://platform.testrelic.ai/api/v1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The install hook creates only an idempotent, package-specific TestRelic configuration file and skips when the file already exists., Cloud initialization falls back to local mode when no API key is configured., The reporter's Git commands collect branch and commit metadata for analytics reporting., The API fixture's default capture configuration redacts common credential headers and body fields.
