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. The static findings resolve to documented package features: an explicitly configured lifecycle hook that writes selected event metadata locally, and a local helper process used for tag canonicalization. The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed paths showed no unrelated network transmission or credential collection. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T08:51:50.683Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T08:52:47.099Z - **Download time:** 512 ms - **Static scan time:** 5222 ms - **AI review time:** 50679 ms - **Total time:** 56416 ms 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 attack identified; the reviewed process and filesystem behavior supports the package’s CLI and lifecycle-event features. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI install command to configure hooks, after which a harness invokes the relay for lifecycle events. - **Impact:** Local lifecycle metadata is recorded for the package’s event workflow; no credential collection or remote transmission was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T08:52:47.099Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The relay records selected lifecycle metadata locally under ~/.codeassembly/events; the tag canonicalizer launches the package’s sibling kb-edit helper with Node. - **Rationale:** The static findings resolve to documented package features: an explicitly configured lifecycle hook that writes selected event metadata locally, and a local helper process used for tag canonicalization. The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed paths showed no unrelated network transmission or credential collection. - **Files touched:** ~/.codeassembly/events ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package has no install lifecycle hook; its npm scripts are build and test tasks., The relay is part of the package’s documented session-lifecycle feature and is wired into harness configuration by the explicit install command., The relay appends lifecycle events to a local file under the user’s home directory, grouped by repository, branch, and session., The event envelope contains lifecycle context and selected hook discriminators; the README says prompt text is not carried., The flagged child process runs Node on the package’s sibling kb-edit helper as part of tag canonicalization. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to codeassembly@0.13.0. - Review the evidence and your use of codeassembly@0.13.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
