AI Security Review
scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and source inspection resolved the flagged configuration and persistence behavior as command-driven product setup. The inspected runtime and dependency entrypoints did not establish a concrete attack.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs a setup or editor-install command to wire the product into supported tools.
Impact
No confirmed unauthorized configuration change, credential disclosure, or persistence was established.
Mechanism
The package updates named assistant configuration and skill locations; its Antigravity adapter writes a watcher plist with run-at-load disabled and tells the user activation requires a separate command.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and source inspection resolved the flagged configuration and persistence behavior as command-driven product setup. The inspected runtime and dependency entrypoints did not establish a concrete attack.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 92.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json declares the command-line entrypoint and ordinary release scripts, with no install lifecycle hook.
- Agent setup targets named user configuration locations and skills directories; uninstall targets the corresponding configuration locations for removal.
- The Antigravity adapter writes a watcher artifact but sets it not to run at load; the launcher reaches setup through a command path.
- Inspected runtime modules describe local capture, summarization, graph sync, obligation review, and working-file tracking.
- The prepared dependency manifests and entrypoints show ordinary library metadata and exports.
