That guardian persists as an upgrade-health helper and may globally reinstall this package after repeated failed health checks; no foreign AI-agent control surface or exfiltration was confirmed. - **Trigger:** npm install; later Grix upgrade failure with a pending marker and three failed health checks - **Impact:** Persistent local runtime management and possible global package replacement - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-guardian.mjs, scripts/upgrade-guardian.sh, dist/adapter/codex/codex-bridge.js, openclaw-plugin/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T18:11:55.494Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** package-owned guardian installation and guarded global rollback - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete persistent postinstall side effect and later global npm rollback capability, so it warrants a warning. Its writes are confined to the package's Grix home and the inspected behavior does not establish malicious intent. - **Files touched:** scripts/install-guardian.mjs, scripts/upgrade-guardian.sh, $GRIX\_HOME/bin/upgrade-guardian.sh, $GRIX\_HOME/data/upgrade-pending.json - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org, http://127.0.0.1:${HEALTH\_PORT}/healthz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Install lifecycle runs a postinstall script., Postinstall creates and overwrites a user-home Grix guardian script., The installed guardian can later run global npm rollback/install commands., This is persistent package-owned runtime management, not credential harvesting or foreign AI-agent modification. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall targets only $GRIX\_CONNECTOR\_HOME or ~/.grix, a package-owned location., Guardian health checks use localhost only., Global npm action is guarded by an existing pending marker and three failed health checks., No inspected source showed secret collection or exfiltration. ## Public findings ### 1.
