Postinstall pruning is limited to global installs, while agent briefing files are created during runtime workspace handling rather than installation. - **Trigger:** Global npm installation; runtime workspace setup - **Impact:** May remove optional bundled runtime dependencies from this CLI's global installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-sdk-deps.mjs, dist/cli/index.mjs, dist/connect-token-Se4h1rNE.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T18:13:27.425Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Scoped dependency pruning and managed workspace briefing creation - **Rationale:** Source inspection contradicts the scanner's fixed-gateway/exfiltration claim. The package has potentially disruptive but documented, globally guarded dependency pruning; no concrete malicious chain was established. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** postinstall invokes three local pruning scripts., The Codex pruning script recursively removes resolved optional runtime package roots, but only after its global-install guard., Runtime code can create AGENTS.md and a CLAUDE.md symlink in its managed workspace. - **Evidence against:** The lifecycle mutation is scoped to global installs and has an explicit opt-out., The scripts avoid local consumer installs specifically to avoid deleting hoisted shared dependencies., The flagged connect-token network request posts a user-supplied token to the configured server URL; no fixed credential gateway was confirmed., No unconsented install-time AI-agent configuration write or credential exfiltration was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
