Install time deletes selected bundled SDK packages only for global installation. A separately invoked Context setup command can install this package's signed plugin payload into Codex or Claude Code user scope. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-17T02:14:55.911Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-17T02:16:26.906Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 14713 ms - **AI review time:** 75770 ms - **Total time:** 90995 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install time deletes selected bundled SDK packages only for global installation. A separately invoked Context setup command can install this package's signed plugin payload into Codex or Claude Code user scope. - **Trigger:** \`npm install -g\` for pruning; explicit \`first-tree context enable\` with confirmation for plugin setup. - **Impact:** Can remove SDK-bundled runtime/dependency packages from First Tree's global installation and enable First Tree Context hooks after user approval. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjs, dist/cli/index.mjs, context-integration/codex/plugins/first-tree-context/hooks/hooks.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T02:16:26.906Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** guarded global dependency pruning and consented first-party agent-plugin installation - **Rationale:** The scanner's credential-redirection claim is not supported by the inspected source. The remaining guarded lifecycle and explicit agent-plugin setup behavior warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** scripts/prune-codex-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-runtime-binary.mjs, scripts/prune-claude-sdk-deps.mjs, dist/cli/index.mjs, context-integration/codex/plugins/first-tree-context/hooks/hooks.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall runs three pruning scripts., Global-install postinstall recursively removes @openai/codex platform packages., Explicit \`context enable\` installs a First Tree plugin into Codex/Claude user scope. - **Evidence against:** Pruning is gated on \`npm\_config\_global === "true"\`; ordinary dependency installs return first., Context enable requires a plan and interactive confirmation or \`--yes\`., No source evidence of credential harvesting, fixed unofficial credential gateway, or install-time network activity. ## Public findings ### 1.
