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.
| Source | Rule | Reason | Accepted by | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| install-scripts | install-script:install | AI (install-scripts): runsync is a native addon (gypfile:true, nan dependency); install script runs node-gyp rebuild via build.js — standard native module build pattern. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:child-process-import | AI (semgrep): Package's core purpose is to polyfill spawnSync/execSync; child_process import is fundamental to its design, not malicious. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:child-process-spawn | AI (semgrep): spawn() in build.js is used solely to invoke node-gyp rebuild during native addon compilation — expected and benign. | ai | |
| phantom-deps | phantom-dep:nan | AI (phantom-deps): nan is a native addon dependency used via binding.gyp config, not via require(); phantom-dep detection is a false positive for native modules. | ai |
