It also runs a package-owned plugin registry migration. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs preinstall and postinstall hooks. - **Impact:** The installed dependency's cost reporting may change, and legacy package runtime state may be removed; no exfiltration or remote execution was confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/preinstall-package-manager-warning.mjs, scripts/postinstall-bundled-plugins.mjs, scripts/postinstall-patch-pi-ai.mjs, dist/plugin-registry-migration-vzddrTlD.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T09:24:30.162Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic dependency patching and package-state cleanup. - **Rationale:** The package has unconsented install-time mutations outside its own files, including a third-party AI dependency, which is risky lifecycle behavior. The inspected changes are narrow and lack a concrete malicious payload, so a warning is more proportionate than a block. - **Files touched:** node\_modules/@mariozechner/pi-ai/dist/providers/openai-completions.js, node\_modules/@mariozechner/pi-ai/dist/providers/openai-responses-shared.js, ~/.openclaw/plugin-runtime-deps, ~/.clawdbot/plugin-runtime-deps, dist/installed-plugin-index.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The automatic postinstall hook runs two filesystem-mutating scripts., Postinstall rewrites two fixed files in the third-party @mariozechner/pi-ai dependency., Postinstall removes legacy runtime-dependency directories under the package's state locations., Postinstall dynamically imports a bundled plugin-registry migration that writes the package's plugin index. - **Evidence against:** The preinstall hook only detects the package manager and prints a warning., The dependency patch is limited to cost passthrough code and has fixed anchors., No network, shell execution, credential harvesting, or remote payload loading was found in the inspected lifecycle sources., No runtime dependency on sealclaw itself was present in package.json. ## Public findings ### 1.
