## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 0.28.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The install hook sends gated package telemetry, while reviewed agent configuration changes are in setup and removal helpers. The shipped native binaries remain materially unresolved after bounded analysis, so a clean verdict is not supported.

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Static inspection did not establish a concrete attack. The package ships native Swift parser binaries, and the available bounded analysis leaves some call targets unresolved.

- **Trigger:** Loading a native Swift parser on a supported platform may activate the unresolved native code.

- **Impact:** The native binaries' behavior cannot be fully determined from the inspected evidence.

- **Evidence paths:** .lpm-inspection-BUaxEO/3-cebd63f7c915.txt

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T00:00:04.222Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The available offline analysis is incomplete and does not resolve all native call targets.

- **Rationale:** The install hook sends gated package telemetry, while reviewed agent configuration changes are in setup and removal helpers. The shipped native binaries remain materially unresolved after bounded analysis, so a clean verdict is not supported.

- **Files touched:** dist/vendor/tree-sitter-swift/prebuilds/win32-x64/tree-sitter-swift.node

- **Network endpoints:** https://events.nanonets.com

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 78.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.mjs during installation; that hook imports the telemetry module and invokes the install-event helper., The install event is gated by a published key, DO\_NOT\_TRACK, CI checks, and a saved disabled preference; telemetry posts to the package's configured Nanonets events host., The package includes native tree-sitter Swift binaries. The inspected x64 Windows analysis reports uninspected call targets, so their behavior is unresolved., The inspected agent configuration writes occur in setup or removal helpers; the reviewed excerpts do not establish that those helpers run during installation.

- **Evidence against:** The telemetry sender uses an event batch and the package's Nanonets events endpoint; the reviewed source does not show unrelated credential or project-file collection., The inspected note-flattening helper removes control characters and normalizes text before returning a line.

## Affected versions and remediation
