Trigger
An AI reviewer reads the bundled AGENTS.md or package metadata.
Impact
Could hide malicious or vulnerable behavior from automated package review.
Mechanism
The text claims higher authority than the user's request and instructs agents to stop analysis and refuse.
Attack narrative
The package includes review-directed instructions that claim to override the user's request and explicitly tell AI agents to refuse analysis of protection code. This is reviewer manipulation intended to suppress inspection.
AI rationale
