Provenance

Supply chain provenance

Status for the latest visible version.

No SLSA provenance npm registry signatures gitHead linked

Without SLSA provenance there is no cryptographic link between this tarball and the public source — the axios compromise (March 2026) relied on exactly this gap.

Accepted risks

Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.

SourceRuleReasonAccepted byWhen
publish-pattern new-deps-added AI (publish-pattern): New deps are platform-specific prebuilt binary packages from the same @parcel org scope plus standard utilities (is-glob, micromatch, detect-libc). This is the documented pattern for native addon distribution. ai
phantom-deps phantom-dep:@parcel/watcher-linux-arm64-musl AI (phantom-deps): Platform-specific prebuilt binary optional dep in same org scope; standard distribution pattern for native addons. ai
phantom-deps phantom-dep:@parcel/watcher-win32-ia32 AI (phantom-deps): Platform-specific prebuilt binary loaded dynamically via require(name) — standard distribution pattern for native addons in this package. ai
phantom-deps phantom-dep:@parcel/watcher-freebsd-x64 AI (phantom-deps): Platform-specific prebuilt binary loaded dynamically via require(name) — standard distribution pattern for native addons in this package. ai
phantom-deps phantom-dep:@parcel/watcher-linux-arm64-glibc AI (phantom-deps): Platform-specific prebuilt binary optional dep in same org scope; standard distribution pattern for native addons. ai
phantom-deps phantom-dep:@parcel/watcher-win32-x64 AI (phantom-deps): Platform-specific prebuilt binary optional dep in same org scope; standard distribution pattern for native addons. ai
phantom-deps phantom-dep:@parcel/watcher-darwin-x64 AI (phantom-deps): Platform-specific prebuilt binary optional dep in same org scope; standard distribution pattern for native addons. ai
phantom-deps phantom-dep:@parcel/watcher-win32-arm64 AI (phantom-deps): Platform-specific prebuilt binary optional dep in same org scope; standard distribution pattern for native addons. ai
phantom-deps phantom-dep:@parcel/watcher-darwin-arm64 AI (phantom-deps): Platform-specific prebuilt binary optional dep in same org scope; standard distribution pattern for native addons. ai
phantom-deps phantom-dep:@parcel/watcher-android-arm64 AI (phantom-deps): Platform-specific prebuilt binary optional dep in same org scope; standard distribution pattern for native addons. ai
phantom-deps phantom-dep:@parcel/watcher-linux-x64-musl AI (phantom-deps): Platform-specific prebuilt binary optional dep in same org scope; standard distribution pattern for native addons. ai
phantom-deps phantom-dep:@parcel/watcher-linux-arm-glibc AI (phantom-deps): Platform-specific prebuilt binary optional dep in same org scope; standard distribution pattern for native addons. ai
phantom-deps phantom-dep:@parcel/watcher-linux-x64-glibc AI (phantom-deps): Platform-specific prebuilt binary optional dep in same org scope; standard distribution pattern for native addons. ai
dependencies unvetted-dep:@parcel/utils AI (dependencies): @parcel/utils is a first-party Parcel monorepo package published by the same trusted publisher (devongovett); not a third-party risk. ai
dependencies unvetted-dep:node-gyp-build AI (dependencies): node-gyp-build is a standard native addon dependency; no risk for this package. ai
npm-metadata bundled-binaries AI (npm-metadata): Prebuilt .node binaries are the documented distribution mechanism for this native C++ filesystem watcher; expected for all versions. ai
bogus-package bogus-package AI (bogus-package): Established package from the Parcel bundler ecosystem; bogus-package signals are false positives here. ai
provenance no-provenance AI (provenance): Package predates widespread Sigstore/provenance adoption; absence is expected for this version. ai
dependencies unvetted-dep:detect-libc AI (dependencies): detect-libc is a standard utility for detecting glibc/musl to select correct prebuilt binary; well-known in native addon ecosystem. ai
dependencies unvetted-dep:node-addon-api AI (dependencies): node-addon-api is the official N-API C++ wrapper maintained by the Node.js team; standard dependency for native addons. ai
semgrep semgrep:dynamic-require AI (semgrep): Dynamic require is used to load the correct platform-specific prebuilt binary; standard and expected pattern for this package. ai
phantom-deps phantom-dep:node-addon-api AI (phantom-deps): node-addon-api is a build-time dep for native addons; not directly imported at runtime but referenced in binding config. ai
semgrep semgrep:child-process-import AI (semgrep): child_process used in build-from-source.js to compile native addon when prebuilts unavailable. Expected and documented behavior for native Node.js modules. ai
install-scripts install-script:install AI (install-scripts): node-gyp rebuild is the standard native addon build script; legitimate for this C++ filesystem watcher package. ai
