The package is a CLI that creates Blok projects, stores its own login token, performs update checks, and includes bundled scaffold/runtime fixtures. - **Trigger:** User invokes blokctl commands such as login, create project, dev, deploy, install, or runtime setup. - **Impact:** Expected project creation, local config/token writes, dependency/runtime setup commands, and Blok service interactions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/commands/create/project.js, dist/services/posthog.js, dist/services/local-token-manager.js, dist/commands/login/index.js, dist/services/constants.js, dist/services/registry-manager.js, dist/scaffold-repo/triggers/websocket/src/Backplane.ts, dist/scaffold-repo/triggers/grpc/localhost+2-key.pem - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-02T23:59:28.356Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked CLI filesystem scaffolding, package/runtime command execution, API calls, and telemetry - **Rationale:** Static inspection found risky primitives, but they are aligned with an interactive project-scaffolding/deployment CLI and activate through user commands rather than install/import. The bundled private key is a localhost scaffold fixture, not evidence of exfiltration or persistence. - **Files touched:** ~/.blok/blokctl.json, ~/.blok/token/token.enc, ~/.blok/blok, \/.blok/README.md, \/.env.local, \/package.json, \/src, \/workflows, \/infra - **Network endpoints:** https://us.i.posthog.com, https://runner-dev.dac-us-east-1.deskree.com/public/deployment, https://runner.dac-us-east-1.deskree.com/public/deployment, https://github.com/well-prado/blok.git, https://registry.npmjs.org/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** dist/scaffold-repo/triggers/grpc/localhost+2-key.pem contains a bundled private key, but appears paired with localhost dev TLS fixture. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install/preinstall/postinstall lifecycle hooks., dist/index.js child\_process use is an invoked CLI update check: npm view blokctl version., dist/commands/create/project.js writes/copies scaffold files only when user runs create project., dist/services/posthog.js sends CLI telemetry to PostHog and honors NO\_NANOCTL\_TELEMETRY; no credential harvesting seen., dist/services/local-token-manager.js stores user login token locally under ~/.blok/token/token.enc; login sends token only to BLOK\_URL /login., dist/scaffold-repo/triggers/websocket/src/Backplane.ts dynamic import is optional @blokjs/trigger-pubsub adapter loading. ## Public findings ### 1.
