Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package has no install-time attack, but it enables recurring background LLM work that can process session history and use the configured provider without a per-run request. Because this is a disclosed memory feature and the provider and storage are user-configured and project-scoped, this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T21:56:35.349Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T21:57:44.876Z - **Download time:** 1288 ms - **Static scan time:** 6761 ms - **AI review time:** 61475 ms - **Total time:** 69527 ms 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:** Default background memory dreaming can send session content through the configured LLM and incur provider usage without a per-run request. - **Trigger:** Interactive session start schedules dreams at the configured interval; session quit can trigger one as well. - **Impact:** Session content may be processed by the configured provider, with possible usage charges; the worker also writes project memory files. - **Evidence paths:** extensions/orchestrator/dreaming.ts, extensions/orchestrator/async-capability.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T21:57:44.876Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The worker receives session file paths and instructions to scan past session files, extract knowledge, and maintain project memory. - **Rationale:** The package has no install-time attack, but it enables recurring background LLM work that can process session history and use the configured provider without a per-run request. Because this is a disclosed memory feature and the provider and storage are user-configured and project-scoped, this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict. - **Files touched:** \/.pi/memory/topics/\*, \/.pi/memory/.dream-watermark, \/.pi/memory/preference-candidates.jsonl, \/.pi/memory/promotions.md, \/.pi/memory/provenance-pending.jsonl ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Memory dreaming is enabled by default; interactive session start starts its timer, and session quit can trigger a dream., The background worker is instructed to read the current and earlier session files and update project memory files., Dreaming uses the parent LLM provider when it supports async work, or a configured internal operations provider. - **Evidence against:** Memory dreaming is an advertised orchestrator feature with a \`/dream-auto off\` opt-out and a manual \`/dream\` command., The memory work is scoped to project memory, and the LLM provider is selected through the user's existing configuration., The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to pi-orchestrator-config@4.20.1. - Review the evidence and your use of pi-orchestrator-config@4.20.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
