Is caro-shell safe to install?

Yes — caro-shell is safe to install, with something worth knowing. Sonnet 5 read every file caro-shell ships from wildcard/caro on 7 September 2026 and found nothing that acts against the person installing it; the static scan of its 26 rules grades it A.

What the reviewer found

caro-shell documents caro's own installer from caro.sh (the project's own domain) as a fallback when cargo isn't available. The RM finding actually landed on prose about parsing caro's printed output ('caro prints...') -- there is no rm -rf in that text at all.

What was read

The file as it ships in wildcard/caro:

What the static scan said

The scan flagged 3things. The reviewer kept 0 and dismissed 3 as false.

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.
