Accepted risks
Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.
| Source | Rule | Reason | Accepted by | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| npm-metadata | bundled-binaries | AI (npm-metadata): WinRun.exe is the package's documented Windows helper binary for silent process spawning; expected and intentional. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:child-process-import | AI (semgrep): child_process is the core mechanism of this spawn-utility package; not a security concern. | ai |
