## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 12 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.1.40
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The postinstall hook stages the package’s own scripts and bundled binaries, while the entry points dispatch the requested Rakumux command. The only observed network behavior is a limited update-version query; no malicious data flow or unauthorized action was identified.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack was identified. Installation stages bundled assets, and the TUI performs a limited package-version update check.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall stages assets; launching the TUI may perform a daily update check.

- **Impact:** No collection of credentials or project data, unrelated network activity, or unauthorized account actions was found in the inspected source.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T03:15:27.127Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook copies included scripts and matching platform binaries into dist/. The update helper queries the rakumux version through npm.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall hook stages the package’s own scripts and bundled binaries, while the entry points dispatch the requested Rakumux command. The only observed network behavior is a limited update-version query; no malicious data flow or unauthorized action was identified.

- **Files touched:** dist/, $HOME/.cache/rakumux/last\_update\_check

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook runs install.js, which stages the package’s scripts and platform-matched bundled binaries into dist/., The hook performs setup only when npm\_lifecycle\_event is postinstall; CLI invocations dispatch a named command., Launching the TUI checks for updates at most daily; the check queries the rakumux package version through npm., The package describes Rakumux as a terminal session manager and documents its TUI and CLI commands.

- **Evidence against:** The shipped native binaries have unresolved offline analysis, but the inspected launchers invoke them as the package’s terminal, MCP, and API tools.
