AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package declares no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged configuration writes are reachable through explicit setup or install commands. Antigravity wiring generates a launchd plist but does not load it, so the persistence finding is not an automatic action.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs the install command and selects a detected editor, or explicitly runs setup for Claude.
Impact
No unauthorized collection, execution, or persistence was identified.
Mechanism
The selected adapter writes its configuration; Antigravity wiring creates a sync script and launchd plist but leaves activation to the user.
AI rationale
The package declares no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged configuration writes are reachable through explicit setup or install commands. Antigravity wiring generates a launchd plist but does not load it, so the persistence finding is not an automatic action.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 95.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest has no install lifecycle hook; its npm scripts are release, promote and rollback.
- Editor configuration writes are reached through the explicit install command, which requires a token and calls the selected adapters’ wire functions.
- The Antigravity adapter writes a sync script and launchd plist when wired, but does not load the launchd agent automatically.
