The exfiltration fires automatically on `npm install` with no caller consent and no configuration. The package\u0027s `main` is a no-op `createWatcher` stub, so a build that resolves this scoped name silently succeeds while host identifiers are leaked. The scoped `@gfe/*` name combined with the no-op stub and the install-time beacon is the canonical dependency-confusion shape: any organization whose private `@gfe/lx-watcher` resolves against the public registry leaks host, username, and install-path metadata to the author-controlled collector.\n",
