When its Claude adapter starts, it changes Claude trust and permission settings and injects a workspace command hook. - **Trigger:** npm install; then starting a Claude-backed connector session - **Impact:** Claude workspaces can be pre-trusted and dangerous-mode confirmation suppressed, enabling package-controlled status-line code. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-guardian.mjs, scripts/upgrade-guardian.sh, dist/adapter/claude/claude-adapter.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-20T12:30:59.292Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic foreign AI-agent configuration and permission-prompt suppression - **Rationale:** The automatic suppression of Claude’s dangerous-permission prompt and trust/config writes are concrete unsafe agent-control behavior. It does not meet the policy’s install-time foreign-control-surface threshold for a block. - **Files touched:** ~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.sh, ~/.claude.json, ~/.claude/settings.json, \/.claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** postinstall overwrites an executable guardian in ~/.grix/bin., Starting Claude automatically accepts workspace trust and disables its dangerous-permission prompt., Claude startup also writes a workspace status-line command pointing to package code. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or unrelated network exfiltration was confirmed., The bundled archive is a readable DeepSeek bridge package, not an opaque executable payload., The guardian targets the package’s own ~/.grix state and rollback flow. ## Public findings ### 1.
