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. The postinstall behavior matches the package's stated purpose: it stages its bundled launchers and platform binaries in a package-local directory. The TUI performs a background version check, but the inspected source shows no collection or transmission of host, user, project, or credential data. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T12:53:55.647Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T12:54:39.135Z - **Download time:** 1291 ms - **Static scan time:** 315 ms - **AI review time:** 41881 ms - **Total time:** 43488 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 postinstall hook sets up the package's own launchers and binaries; a TUI startup update check queries package metadata. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall runs setup; launching the TUI starts a background daily update check. - **Impact:** The observed setup prepares the terminal manager for use, and the update check retrieves version metadata. No host or user data collection was identified in the inspected source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T12:54:39.135Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup copies bundled scripts and platform-specific binaries into dist/. The update check queries the npm package version, with Homebrew metadata checks for brew installations. - **Rationale:** The postinstall behavior matches the package's stated purpose: it stages its bundled launchers and platform binaries in a package-local directory. The TUI performs a background version check, but the inspected source shows no collection or transmission of host, user, project, or credential data. - **Files touched:** dist/ - **Network endpoints:** npm registry (via \`npm view rakumux version\`), Homebrew metadata (via \`brew info rakumux\`) ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package describes itself as a terminal session manager and declares command-line entry points for its TUI, local launcher, MCP server, and API server., The postinstall hook runs install.js, which copies the package's launcher scripts and platform-specific prebuilt binaries into its package-local dist directory., The automatic daily update check runs only when launching the TUI; the updater queries npm for the rakumux version, and the script also supports checking Homebrew metadata., The inspected JavaScript and shell code shows no install-time network request, credential collection, or unrelated account action. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall hook runs automatically and replaces the package-local dist directory with copied assets., The shipped native executables could not be semantically inspected by the offline analyzer; their presence is consistent with the package's documented command-line and daemon purpose. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to rakumux@0.1.33. - Review the evidence and your use of rakumux@0.1.33 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.
