## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No install-time or covert exfiltration attack surface is established. Exported harness utilities retain dangerous explicit-use primitives: shell-backed git worktree commands and browser-page string evaluation.

- **Trigger:** A consumer explicitly instantiates \`WorktreeManager\` with attacker-controlled options or runs E2E assertions through \`PlaywrightE2ERunner\`.

- **Impact:** Potential command execution in the configured repository context or script execution in the navigated browser page.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.ts, cli.ts, packages/worktree/worktree.ts, harness/e2e/playwright-runner.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-13T04:02:17.110Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** shell command construction and Playwright page-context eval

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no lifecycle persistence, credential collection, network exfiltration, or hidden payload chain. Explicit-use command and eval primitives create real unresolved security risk, so a warning is warranted rather than a publication block.

- **Files touched:** ~/.pi/usage-status/usage.jsonl, ~/.pi/usage-status/mirror.json, ~/.pi/harness

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** \`packages/worktree/worktree.ts\` passes option-derived git arguments through a shell command string via \`execSync\`., \`harness/e2e/playwright-runner.ts\` evaluates a caller-supplied assertion string in a Playwright page context.

- **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no \`preinstall\`, \`install\`, or \`postinstall\` hook., \`index.ts\` activation registers Pi slash commands and locally records usage/checkpoint data., No source HTTP client, credential harvesting, or data-exfiltration endpoint was found., The only provider URL is documentation for a manually entered quota mirror.

## Public findings

### 1. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 2. Low: Eval
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 45.0%
- **Path:** harness/e2e/playwright-runner.ts
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/pi-harness-runtime@0.3.0/harness/e2e/playwright-runner.ts>)

Package source references a known benign dynamic code generation pattern.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
L242: // eslint-disable-next-line no-eval
L243: return eval(String(cond)) as boolean; // eslint-disable-line
L244: }, condition);
```

### 3. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references environment variables.

### 4. Low: Filesystem
