Accepted risks

Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.

SourceRuleReasonAccepted byWhen
publish-pattern new-deps-added AI (publish-pattern): @npmcli/package-json is an official npm CLI package replacing read-package-json. Legitimate dependency change. ai
maintainer-change maintainer-takeover AI (maintainer-change): Legitimate npm CLI team transition from original individual maintainers to the GitHub/npm org team. Well-documented, stable for this package. ai
provenance publisher-changed AI (provenance): Publisher changed to GitHub Actions CI/CD with SLSA provenance; this is the npm CLI team's standard release pipeline. ai
maintainer-change maintainer-added AI (maintainer-change): New maintainers are all known npm CLI team members (gar, npm-cli-ops, etc.). Stable for this package. ai
maintainer-change maintainer-removed AI (maintainer-change): Original maintainers (isaacs, zkat, etc.) left the npm CLI team years ago; removal is expected and stable. ai
publish-pattern dormant-publish AI (publish-pattern): Package has been actively published; dormancy is only relative to last vetted version (v1.9.1). Not a real signal. ai
dependencies unvetted-dep:validate-npm-package-license AI (dependencies): validate-npm-package-license is a well-known, legitimate npm utility for SPDX license validation; its use here is expected and stable across versions. ai
dependencies unvetted-dep:npm-package-arg AI (dependencies): npm-package-arg is a core npm CLI utility maintained by the npm/GitHub org; no security concern. ai
dependencies unvetted-dep:@npmcli/package-json AI (dependencies): @npmcli/package-json is an official npm org scoped package; stable and widely used in the npm CLI ecosystem. ai
dependencies unvetted-dep:validate-npm-package-name AI (dependencies): validate-npm-package-name is a canonical npm org utility; no security concern. ai
dependencies unvetted-dep:promzard AI (dependencies): promzard is an official npm org package (github.com/npm/promzard), a stable dependency of init-package-json across many versions. ai
