What the reviewer found
This settings.json defines a PreToolUse hook that blocks Bash commands containing rm -rf, force pushes, chmod 777, or curl|bash / wget|bash before they run. It is a defensive deny-rule, not an attempt to run any of the flagged commands.

How this review was made
Sonnet 5 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
