## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 10 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 26.9.11-481
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

There is no install-time execution or self-dependency chain. The flagged AI-editor configuration write is part of an explicit scaffolding command, rather than an unconsented lifecycle mutation.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-11T08:10:05.181Z

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:** No confirmed unconsented attack surface was established. Network access and project writes occur only through user-invoked CLI features.

- **Trigger:** A user runs scaffold, audit sharing, or hook setup commands.

- **Impact:** The selected project may receive templates or optional configuration requested by the user.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T08:10:51.222Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-invoked scaffolding, auditing, and optional report publishing.

- **Rationale:** There is no install-time execution or self-dependency chain. The flagged AI-editor configuration write is part of an explicit scaffolding command, rather than an unconsented lifecycle mutation.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes CLI commands and contains no install lifecycle hook., The AI-editor rule file is written only during an explicitly invoked scaffold operation.

- **Evidence against:** Scaffolding fetches template files from the package service and writes them to the user-selected project directory., The audit sharing feature can use a user-provided GitHub token to publish reports.
