| Source | Rule | Reason | Accepted by | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| npm-metadata | suspicious-initial-version | AI (npm-metadata): vinyl-buffer has been published at 0.0.0 for 12+ years with 181k weekly downloads. This is an intentional version choice by a trusted author, not a malicious throwaway package. | ai | |
| provenance | no-provenance | AI (provenance): Package predates Sigstore provenance by many years; absence is expected and not a risk signal for this established package. | ai | |
| provenance | publisher-changed | AI (provenance): phated (Blaine Bublitz) is a core gulp ecosystem maintainer; transfer from hughsk is a known legitimate handoff. | ai | |
| maintainer-change | maintainer-added | AI (maintainer-change): phated added as maintainer is consistent with gulp ecosystem ownership consolidation. | ai | |
| publish-pattern | dormant-publish | AI (publish-pattern): Dormancy explained by stable utility; publish was maintenance transfer with no code changes. | ai |
