AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no lifecycle hooks, and the flagged editor writes require an explicit setup command. The Antigravity plist does not run at load, and its adapter does not activate it.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
The user runs the install or setup command; package import and npm installation do not trigger the flagged writes.
Impact
No automatic persistence or unauthorized control-surface mutation was identified.
Mechanism
The Antigravity adapter generates a watcher script and launchd plist, but does not activate the agent and sets RunAtLoad to false.
AI rationale
The manifest has no lifecycle hooks, and the flagged editor writes require an explicit setup command. The Antigravity plist does not run at load, and its adapter does not activate it.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 96.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its scripts are release, promote, and rollback.
- The CLI dispatches editor wiring only when the user runs the install subcommand.
- Antigravity setup writes a sync script and launchd plist but does not load the agent; the plist also sets RunAtLoad to false.
- The package describes its purpose as connecting an AI assistant to Cortex, consistent with its editor wiring and sync features.
