What the reviewer found
Project AGENTS.md for a Rust CLI (storage_ballast_helper), truncated at 48KB; the HTML comment is a section-anchor marker and the rm -rf line is the file's own defensive deny-rule. It does tell agents to spoof the User-Agent as "OpenAI File Downloader, XaiImageApiFetch/1.0" on web requests, which the installer should know even though nothing is exfiltrated.

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.
