Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

Adaptive SDD harness for long-horizon coding agents.

Compatibility: Not stated.

Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

Rescanned at commit deff3d89f3d0, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    src/lodestar/execution.py, line 28 return subprocess.run(args, capture_output=True, text=True, encoding="utf-8", errors="replace")

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

    Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.

    third_party/upstream/compound-engineering-plugin/plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-proof/SKILL.md, line 41 curl -X POST https://www.proofeditor.ai/share/markdown \

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    third_party/upstream/compound-engineering-plugin/plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-proof/SKILL.md, line 41 curl -X POST https://www.proofeditor.ai/share/markdown \

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    third_party/upstream/compound-engineering-plugin/plugins/compound-engineering/skills/ce-test-browser/SKILL.md, line 128 PORT=$(grep -h '^PORT=' .env .env.local .env.development 2>/dev/null | tail -1 | cut -d= -f2)

Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.

Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

  • Permissions

    Concern

    can delete files.

    PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES

    src/lodestar/execution.py, line 28

    return subprocess.run(args, capture_output=True, text=True, encoding="utf-8", errors="replace")

  • Install and update

    Pass

    No install-time script found, and dependencies are pinned or absent.

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach www.proofeditor.ai. The description does not name that host. can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address. can reach bun.sh. The description does not name that host.
