Source	Rule	Reason	Accepted by	When
phantom-deps	phantom-dep:yamlish	AI (phantom-deps): yamlish is declared in package.json and legitimately used; phantom-dep false positive for properly declared dependencies.	ai	2026/04/24
phantom-deps	phantom-dep:tap-results	AI (phantom-deps): tap-results is declared in package.json and legitimately used; phantom-dep false positive for properly declared dependencies.	ai	2026/04/24
semgrep	semgrep:child-process-import	AI (semgrep): tap-runner is a test runner; spawning child processes is its core function. child_process use is expected and benign for this package.	ai	2026/04/23
semgrep	semgrep:child-process-spawn	AI (semgrep): spawn() is the mechanism by which tap-runner executes test files — fundamental to its purpose, not a security concern.	ai	2026/04/23
