delphi

No clear in-module malicious payload is visible (no eval/exec, no suspicious persistence, no network calls directly). The primary risk is operational/supply-chain: the code executes external binaries/scripts (paths partly controlled by environment variables) and passes secrets read from ~/.config/secrets.env into those processes, meaning a compromised binary/wrapper/module/codex_guard could exfiltrate data or run arbitrary code. This should be reviewed as a high-trust boundary, especially for environment control and dependency integrity.

This code is an orchestrator/launcher rather than a self-contained payload. It has no direct indicators of overt malware (no exfiltration, credential harvesting, or obfuscated payload execution in this snippet). However, it creates meaningful supply-chain/runtime risk by invoking an external herdr executable determined by the FRACTAL_HERDR environment variable and by launching an external worker script (delphi.py) with attacker-influenced arguments and filesystem paths; it also instructs herdr to run `tail -F` against node_dir-derived files, which could broaden filesystem exposure depending on sandboxing.
