Accepted risks

Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.

SourceRuleReasonAccepted byWhen
semgrep semgrep:hex-decode AI (semgrep): Hex decoding in example.js is a hardcoded 20-byte DHT node ID — standard for BitTorrent DHT implementations. Not a malicious payload; stable false positive for this package. ai
dependencies unvetted-dep:k-bucket AI (dependencies): k-bucket is a well-known mafintosh package (same author as k-rpc) used for DHT routing tables. Unvetted status is a pipeline artifact. ai
dependencies unvetted-dep:k-rpc-socket AI (dependencies): k-rpc-socket is a well-known mafintosh package (same author as k-rpc) for DHT socket communication. Unvetted status is a pipeline artifact. ai
