## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation starts the package's loopback web UI and, only in a local checkout, installs a formatting Git hook. No confirmed malicious attack surface was established.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall; normal web runtime

- **Impact:** Starts a local service and may alter this checkout's pre-commit hook; no exfiltration or foreign agent-control mutation found.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, scripts/fix-node-pty.mjs, dist/web/server.js, dist/web/self-update.js, dist/hooks-config.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T00:58:00.671Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** bundled local AI-agent dashboard and optional git-clone self-update

- **Rationale:** The scanner’s lifecycle and updater signals are real but package-aligned: the install hook launches its own loopback UI and a checkout-local formatting hook. Source inspection found no concrete malicious chain or unconsented foreign/broad AI-agent control-surface mutation.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js, .git/hooks/pre-commit

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** postinstall auto-starts its bundled web server unless CI or an opt-out is set., Local development installs add a Prettier-only Git pre-commit hook., The runtime updater can query GitHub releases for git-clone installs.

- **Evidence against:** The server defaults to loopback binding, not public exposure., Agent-skill injection is runtime-gated and default off; foreign skills are refused., No install-time credential harvesting, exfiltration, remote payload execution, or foreign AI-agent config mutation was found.
