Accepted risks
Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.
| Source | Rule | Reason | Accepted by | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| maintainer-change | maintainer-removed | AI (maintainer-change): dcousens removal is consistent with routine org maintainer rotation; no evidence of hostile takeover. | ai | |
| maintainer-change | maintainer-added | AI (maintainer-change): defunctzombie (browserify creator) and lukechilds are well-known, reputable contributors; addition reflects legitimate browserify org maintainer management. | ai | |
| bogus-package | bogus-package | AI (bogus-package): Flagged maintainer jmm is a historical maintainer, not the publisher; acorn-node is a legitimate, well-established browserify ecosystem package. | ai | |
| publish-pattern | new-deps-added | AI (publish-pattern): acorn-walk is the official acorn walk utility; its addition is a legitimate dependency for acorn 7 compatibility. | ai | |
| source-diff | source-size-tripled | AI (source-diff): Size increase is consistent with the prepublishOnly build step bundling acorn 7 plugins into lib/; no obfuscation or payload indicators. | ai | |
| dependencies | unvetted-dep:acorn | AI (dependencies): acorn is a canonical, widely-trusted JS parser maintained by the acornjs org; flagging it as unvetted is a stable false positive for this package. | ai | |
| dependencies | unvetted-dep:acorn-walk | AI (dependencies): acorn-walk is the official AST walker companion to acorn, maintained by the same org; flagging it is a stable false positive for this package. | ai |
