AI Security Review
scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest defines no install lifecycle hooks, and the flagged configuration and watcher writes are reached through explicit CLI setup or install commands. The inspected source supports normal product behavior, with no concrete attack established.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs setup, install, or channel with a valid channel argument.
Impact
No unconsented install-time mutation, credential exfiltration, or malicious persistence was established.
Mechanism
The CLI writes editor configuration or channel settings. Antigravity wiring creates a watcher plist but does not load it automatically.
AI rationale
The manifest defines no install lifecycle hooks, and the flagged configuration and watcher writes are reached through explicit CLI setup or install commands. The inspected source supports normal product behavior, with no concrete attack established.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 93.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json has no install lifecycle hooks and declares the MCP SDK and Zod as runtime dependencies.
- The entrypoint invokes setup or editor wiring only for explicit CLI commands; the inspected Codex and Cursor configuration writes are inside their wiring functions.
- Channel settings change only when the command receives a valid channel argument; without one, it reports status.
- Antigravity wiring writes a watcher plist with RunAtLoad disabled and does not load it automatically.
- The inspected support modules perform session summarization, graph synchronization, proposal review and changed-file tracking; the dependency entrypoints expose library exports.
- The configured canonical service endpoint is agnoclast.com.
