What the reviewer found
copilot-governance's bootstrap curl targets its own repo's install.sh, and the RM hit is a defensive PreToolUse guard blocking `rm -rf /`, so both are false. AS1 is real and disclosed: the tool's stated purpose is syncing rules/skills/hooks into Claude Code, VS Code Copilot and Gemini config directories, which the installer should know touches multiple agents' settings.

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.
