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): Shortcut.exe is the core mechanism for manipulating Windows .lnk files; bundling this native binary is the documented and expected design of this package. | ai | |
| semgrep | semgrep:child-process-import | AI (semgrep): execFile is used to invoke the bundled Shortcut.exe — the safe, shell-free pattern appropriate for wrapping a native Windows binary. Stable for this package. | ai |

provenance
