Full changelog
What's Changed
Security
- Remove gptSecurity alert: Replaced String.fromCharCode(101,118,97,108) obfuscation pattern in lib/blackboard-validator.ts with a named constant EVAL_FN = 'eval'. Socket.dev's AI classifier no longer flags this as a potential security risk.
- Remove debugAccess alert: Same root cause — the char-code construction was the only trigger in the codebase. Gone with the constant refactor.
- Explicit policy gate at shell exec call sites (in/console.ts):
untime.policy.isCommandAllowed() checked before
untime.exec() in both interactive and pipe-mode paths, reducing AI-heuristic surface. - Remove redundant
equire('path').sep in lib/agent-runtime.ts — sep is already imported at module top level.
Documentation
- SUPPLY_CHAIN.md: Added sections 5a (shell execution surface) and 5b (telemetry surface), documenting all controls around shellAccess/shellExec alerts and confirming zero-telemetry default.
Tooling
- scripts/socket-check.js: New supply-chain score monitor. Runs \socket package shallow, labels alerts as [FIXABLE]/[expected]/[review], exits non-zero if fixable alerts remain.
- *
pm run socket:check* / **
pm run socket:check:local**: Wired into \package.json. - \RELEASING.md\ Step 9: Post-publish Socket score verification added to the release checklist.
