## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 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:** 14.3.187
- **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 scanner’s avatar finding points to an administrative backfill whose write path requires \`--apply\`, rather than an install or package-entrypoint action. I am returning manual review because source for the declared \`@vibes.diy/pouf/lint\` runtime dependency was unavailable, leaving selected dependency behavior unresolved.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed attack behavior was identified in the inspected flagged source. A declared dependency used by runtime source could not be verified, leaving a review gap.

- **Trigger:** Runtime use of the design-check functionality that imports the unavailable dependency.

- **Impact:** The dependency’s behavior remains unverified, so this inspection cannot resolve whether it introduces risk.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, intern/agent-design-check.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T22:19:05.138Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The package imports a palette helper from \`@vibes.diy/pouf/lint\`; its implementation was unavailable for inspection.

- **Rationale:** The scanner’s avatar finding points to an administrative backfill whose write path requires \`--apply\`, rather than an install or package-entrypoint action. I am returning manual review because source for the declared \`@vibes.diy/pouf/lint\` runtime dependency was unavailable, leaving selected dependency behavior unresolved.

- **Files touched:** package.json, intern/agent-design-check.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 79.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The flagged avatar backfill is a named administrative command; its write pass requires an explicit \`--apply\` argument., The package imports an unavailable \`@vibes.diy/pouf/lint\` dependency in runtime source, so that dependency’s behavior could not be verified.

- **Evidence against:** The avatar backfill defaults to a dry run and uses the configured \`vibes.diy\` asset host and the package’s R2 bucket for its documented migration.

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @vibes.diy/api-svc@14.3.125
matchedIdentity = npm:QHZpYmVzLmRpeS9hcGktc3Zj:14.3.125
similarity = 0.683
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```
