It also modifies the user's Python environment by installing dependencies. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs postinstall. - **Impact:** A compromised or redirected release host could supply an unverified executable for later CLI use; installation also changes user-level Python packages. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, bin/tfcode.js, python/tf\_sync/config.py, python/tf\_sync/tools.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-26T15:43:07.834Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote binary download, extraction, and automatic Python package installation. - **Rationale:** This package is not proven malicious, but its automatic lifecycle hook downloads an unverified executable and installs user-level Python packages. That creates a concrete supply-chain risk requiring a warning. - **Files touched:** bin/tfcode, bin/app - **Network endpoints:** https://gitea.toothfairyai.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The postinstall hook runs automatically during npm installation., The hook obtains a latest release version and downloads a platform archive without a checksum or signature check., The downloaded archive is extracted and its binary is copied into the package bin directory., The hook also automatically installs Python packages into the user's Python environment. - **Evidence against:** The remote release and optional dependency names are aligned with the ToothFairyAI package namespace., The JavaScript launcher only starts the packaged binary after the user explicitly runs the CLI., The inspected JavaScript and Python source shows no credential harvesting, unrelated exfiltration, or AI-agent configuration writes. ## Public findings ### 1.
