Accepted risks
Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.
| Source | Rule | Reason | Accepted by | When |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| dependencies | unvetted-dep:smart-buffer | AI (dependencies): smart-buffer is the canonical buffer utility dependency for this package and is well-established in the ecosystem; not a risk. | ai | |
| provenance | no-provenance | AI (provenance): socks does not publish with Sigstore provenance; this is consistent across versions and is not a security concern for this well-known package. | ai |
