Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.

SourceRuleReasonAccepted byWhen
source-diff encoded-string-file:index.js AI (source-diff): Base64-encoded macOS applet.app zip is a documented, long-standing part of sudo-prompt to show the OS password dialog. Stable for this package. ai
semgrep semgrep:child-process-import AI (semgrep): sudo-prompt's entire purpose is to execute commands with elevated privileges; child_process usage is the core mechanism and expected for every version of this package. ai
