Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source inspection found default package-aligned installation telemetry with bounded fields and opt-outs, plus normal caller-driven testing and signed runtime updates. The flagged command-output behavior is local test diagnostics, and the inspected views export does not establish agent-control mutation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T01:43:57.477Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T01:49:58.899Z - **Download time:** 2286 ms - **Static scan time:** 2539 ms - **AI review time:** 356596 ms - **Total time:** 361422 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:** No attack was identified. The install hook sends bounded, package-aligned installation metadata to the package telemetry service, with environment-based opt-outs. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with npm runs its postinstall hook. - **Impact:** The service receives installation metadata and a persistent device identifier; inspected sources show no message content, tokens, or payloads in this event. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T01:49:58.899Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook emits platform and usage metadata through the telemetry client, which posts batches to the package telemetry endpoint. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found default package-aligned installation telemetry with bounded fields and opt-outs, plus normal caller-driven testing and signed runtime updates. The flagged command-output behavior is local test diagnostics, and the inspected views export does not establish agent-control mutation. - **Files touched:** bin/install.mjs, lib/telemetry/client/index.js, lib/telemetry/client/identity.js, lib/telemetry/schemas/common.json - **Network endpoints:** https://telemetry.portomatic.com/v1/events ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs bin/install.mjs as a postinstall hook; that hook emits installation metadata through the package telemetry client., Telemetry is disabled when PORTOMATIC\_TELEMETRY\_DISABLED=1 or DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1 and posts to the package’s telemetry endpoint by default., The install event schema limits collected fields to platform, runtime, CI, launch method, and package manager metadata., The flagged testing helper runs a supplied command, captures its output for local test diagnostics, and sends control requests to its configured emulator URL., The flagged views module exports Slack view and interaction helpers; the inspected excerpt shows no agent configuration mutation., The runtime updater verifies the release signature and archive integrity before launching the downloaded runtime., The bundled dependency excerpt identifies CodeMirror as a JavaScript code editor distributed under an MIT license., The Slack helpers generate integration-bot IDs, look up agent sessions by key, and route streamed content through block and content normalizers. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to portomatic@0.3.69. - Review the evidence and your use of portomatic@0.3.69 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.
