What the reviewer found
The flagged HTML comment is a visible section marker, not hidden instructions, and the rm -rf/git-reset line is a 'never run this without written permission' safety rule. One real oddity: it tells the agent to spoof its curl user-agent as an OpenAI/xAI file downloader, which doesn't harm the installer but is worth knowing about.

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.
