# Review by Staff Security Engineer (Round 5)

## Staff Security Engineer Review — `colonyos/recovery-7cc0851d44`

### VERDICT: approve

### FINDINGS:
- **[src/colonyos/daemon/_resilience.py]**: `subprocess.run` uses list args with 10s timeout; `branch_name` gated by `PreflightError` validation — no shell injection risk. Identical to monolith code.
- **[src/colonyos/daemon/_watchdog.py]**: `_get_daemon_module()` lazy import is documented, safe, and cannot be exploited without pre-existing code execution.
- **[src/colonyos/daemon/_helpers.py]**: `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` references are user-facing guidance strings only, not key access or logging.
- **[src/colonyos/daemon/__init__.py]**: Token handling unchanged from monolith — masked in logs, never persisted to disk or incident files.
- **[tests/test_daemon.py]**: Zero modifications. 3 test failures are pre-existing on `main` (`TestDailyThreadLifecycle` rotation tests). Zero regressions.

### SYNTHESIS:
This refactoring is **security-neutral**. The attack surface is byte-for-byte identical to the monolith — no new subprocess calls with user-controlled input, no new network access paths, no new file write targets, no secrets in committed code. The mixin pattern preserves the exact same privilege model: all methods bind to `self` with identical access to Daemon state. The only novel code pattern (`_get_daemon_module()` lazy import) is a 3-line function that cannot be exploited without pre-existing code execution in the process. The `subprocess.run` call in `_recover_existing_branch_and_retry` uses list args (no `shell=True`), gates the branch name through `PreflightError` validation, and has a 10-second timeout — identical protections to the monolith. Incident file writes truncate user-supplied data (`source_value[:500]`). No security concerns. Ship it.
