## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 0.9.264
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The manifest has no automatic install hook, and inspected command and network operations align with runtime product features. However, selected runtime dependencies remain unresolved in the supplied source snapshot, so the complete runtime behavior cannot be confirmed.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0%

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No concrete attack was established in the inspected source. Some selected runtime dependency source remains unresolved, so their behavior could not be verified.

- **Trigger:** Runtime use of the package loads selected dependencies.

- **Impact:** The unresolved dependency behavior prevents a complete assessment of the runtime supply chain.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T19:11:42.697Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The package imports runtime dependencies whose source was not available in the supplied inspection snapshot.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no automatic install hook, and inspected command and network operations align with runtime product features. However, selected runtime dependencies remain unresolved in the supplied source snapshot, so the complete runtime behavior cannot be confirmed.

- **Files touched:** package.json, bin/cli.js, dist/index.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** package.json declares selected runtime dependencies, including @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk and @livekit/agents; the supplied dependency inspection leaves some selected dependencies unresolved., The CLI launches dist/index.js as the package runtime, which imports dotenv and hydrates configured secrets into process.env., The source contains runtime code-server installation and artifact upload features, but inspected excerpts do not establish malicious credential transfer or an unrelated recipient.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; prepublishOnly runs a build command., Inspected source ties process execution and network operations to runtime product features; no concrete attack behavior was established in those excerpts.

## Affected versions and remediation
