# Terms of Service & Policy Compliance Audit Pack

## Scope

This pack audits for terms-of-service, license, and platform-policy violations across five compliance surfaces: (1) OSS/dependency license compliance, (2) third-party API and service ToS, (3) app/extension store and platform policy, (4) AI/LLM provider ToS, and (5) any other relevant ToS surface (email/SMS consent, payment processors, OAuth scope, CDN licensing). This is a COMPLIANCE audit: findings flag legal/policy risk for human review. Most findings are NOT auto-fixable — they require human or legal judgment. The pack self-detects which policy regimes apply based on the project's manifest files and dependencies; it does NOT audit runtime security controls (covered by the security pack) or dependency CVEs (covered by the dependencies pack).

**Pack ID:** `ccgm/tos-compliance`
**Applies when:** `always`

---

## applies_when Rationale

| Condition | Reason |
|-----------|--------|
| `always` | Every codebase has some applicable compliance surface — at minimum, its own declared license and any third-party dependencies it ships. The pack self-detects which of the five compliance surfaces are relevant based on project indicators (package.json, manifest.json, Info.plist, AI SDK imports, HTTP clients), so running on all repos produces zero false starts on non-applicable checks while ensuring no project escapes compliance review. |

## Checks

### `tos-compliance/copyleft-in-proprietary`

**Severity:** `critical`
**Confidence:** `high`
**Detection:** `llm`

#### Detection

**LLM instruction (if detection = llm or hybrid):**

```
READ AND APPLY: ~/.claude/skills/audit/reference/fix-patterns.md
Use the Fix Type Reference table from that file when assigning fix_type and fix_confidence.
Do not rely on memory — open and apply the file.

Surface (1): OSS / DEPENDENCY LICENSE COMPLIANCE

First detect the project's own license (LICENSE file, package.json "license", "private": true).
Then enumerate dependency licenses:
  npm: run `npx license-checker --summary` (or parse package-lock.json / node_modules/*/LICENSE)
  Python: run `pip-licenses` or parse site-packages metadata
  Go: inspect go.sum + vendor/ LICENSE files
  Rust: inspect Cargo.lock + crates.io metadata
  .NET: inspect *.csproj / NuGet PackageReference entries + nuget.org license metadata

Identify dependencies carrying copyleft licenses that are LINKED INTO a proprietary or
differently-licensed product:
- GPL-2.0, GPL-3.0, LGPL-2.0, LGPL-2.1, LGPL-3.0 linked into a proprietary binary
  (dynamic linking may avoid LGPL copyleft but requires careful analysis)
- AGPL-3.0 or SSPL used in a network-served or SaaS application
  (these trigger source-disclosure obligations for the entire service)
- OSL-3.0, EUPL-1.2, CDDL in a proprietary product (copyleft scope varies)
- Any copyleft license where the project's own license is incompatible (e.g. GPL-3.0 dep
  in a GPL-2.0-only project)

Also check vendored/copied third-party source in vendor/ directories — shipped without its
original license header triggers the same copyleft obligation.

Also check fonts, icon sets, images, datasets, and ML model weights with restrictive licenses
(e.g. "non-commercial research only" weights, icon sets requiring a paid commercial license,
datasets forbidding commercial or redistribution use).

OPTIONAL internet-powered confirmation (do not block on the network — fall back to
offline pattern + metadata analysis if unavailable):
- Resolve exact license: `npm view {package} license` or
  `WebFetch https://registry.npmjs.org/{package}`
- Check for a relicense: `WebSearch: "{package} license change relicense BUSL"`

For each finding: dependency name, its license, the project's license, why this is a copyleft
violation, and a concrete remediation (replace with MIT/Apache alternative, obtain a commercial
license, open-source the project). auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/copyleft-in-proprietary
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** AGPL/SSPL in a SaaS product or GPL linked into a proprietary binary obligates the entire product to be open-sourced. Non-compliance creates immediate legal liability and potential injunctions against distribution. CRITICAL per the ToS prompt severity guidance.

**Confidence rationale:** License identifiers in package metadata are explicit strings — SPDX identifiers are deterministic. The primary ambiguity is in what constitutes "linking" for LGPL, but the check flags for human review rather than auto-fixing, reducing false-negative risk. HIGH confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/copyleft-in-proprietary`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`package.json`):

```json
{
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "some-agpl-lib": "1.0.0"
  }
}
```
*(private/proprietary product shipping an AGPL-3.0 dependency — CRITICAL finding)*

**True negative** (should produce NO finding):

```json
{
  "license": "MIT",
  "dependencies": {
    "lodash": "4.17.21"
  }
}
```
*(MIT project using MIT dependency — no copyleft conflict)*

### `tos-compliance/non-commercial-in-commercial`

**Severity:** `critical`
**Confidence:** `high`
**Detection:** `llm`

#### Detection

**LLM instruction (if detection = llm or hybrid):**

```
READ AND APPLY: ~/.claude/skills/audit/reference/fix-patterns.md
Use the Fix Type Reference table from that file when assigning fix_type and fix_confidence.
Do not rely on memory — open and apply the file.

Surface (1): OSS / DEPENDENCY LICENSE COMPLIANCE (non-commercial licenses)

Enumerate dependency licenses (same enumeration as copyleft-in-proprietary check above).

Identify dependencies carrying "non-commercial" or "source-available" licenses used in a
commercial product:
- CC-BY-NC-* (Creative Commons Non-Commercial) variants
- BUSL-1.1 (Business Source License) — prohibits commercial production use until the
  Change Date (typically 4 years after release)
- Elastic-2.0 / Elasticsearch license — prohibits competing SaaS offering
- Commons Clause addendum — restricts selling the software as a service
- Polyform Noncommercial 1.0.0 — non-commercial use only
- "Source available" licenses that prohibit commercial use or competing products

Determine if the project is commercial:
- Presence of payment processor integrations (Stripe, PayPal, Braintree)
- "private": true with a pricing or subscription model
- SaaS indicators: multi-tenancy, user accounts with paid tiers

For each finding: dependency name, its license, how the project uses it commercially, and
remediation (switch to a commercially licensed alternative, negotiate a commercial license).
auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/non-commercial-in-commercial
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Using a non-commercial or "source-available" license in a commercial product constitutes license breach. CRITICAL because the licensor can demand immediate cessation and seek damages.

**Confidence rationale:** License identifiers in metadata are explicit; determining whether a project is "commercial" from code signals (payment integrations, private flag, SaaS patterns) is reliable. HIGH confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/non-commercial-in-commercial`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`package.json`):

```json
{
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "elasticsearch": "8.0.0"
  }
}
```
*(Elastic-2.0 licensed package used in a private commercial SaaS — CRITICAL finding)*

**True negative** (should produce NO finding):

```json
{
  "license": "MIT",
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "4.18.2"
  }
}
```
*(MIT express in any product — no restriction)*

### `tos-compliance/missing-attribution`

**Severity:** `high`
**Confidence:** `medium`
**Detection:** `llm`

#### Detection

**LLM instruction (if detection = llm or hybrid):**

```
READ AND APPLY: ~/.claude/skills/audit/reference/fix-patterns.md
Use the Fix Type Reference table from that file when assigning fix_type and fix_confidence.
Do not rely on memory — open and apply the file.

Surface (1): OSS / DEPENDENCY LICENSE COMPLIANCE (attribution)

MIT, BSD-2/3, Apache-2.0, and ISC licenses all require preserving the copyright notice and
license text in distributions. Apache-2.0 additionally requires stating changes.

Check for missing attribution in the following contexts:
1. Bundled frontends and browser extensions: look for a NOTICE, THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES, or
   LICENSES file in the build output directory (dist/, build/, extension build artifacts).
   If the project bundles dependencies (webpack, Rollup, Vite, esbuild) and the build
   output lacks such a file, flag it.
2. Shipped binaries: if the project compiles to an executable (Go, Rust, C++), check for
   a NOTICE or LICENSES file in the release bundle.
3. Copied/vendored source: any file in vendor/, third_party/, or a source directory that
   has been copied from another project needs its original copyright header preserved.
4. Apache-2.0 dependencies: if any Apache-2.0 dependency is shipped, a NOTICE file is
   required aggregating change notices.

auto_fixable=true (low confidence) — generating a THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES file from
dependency metadata is mechanically possible (npx generate-license-file, license-checker --out
THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES --files, go-license-detector, etc.) but requires human review because the
tool output may be incomplete or formatted incorrectly. The fix agent may generate the file as a
starting point; it must be reviewed before commit.

For each finding: the artifact type, what attribution is missing, and the tool to use for
remediation (e.g. license-checker, generate-license-file, go-license-detector).
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/missing-attribution
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** MIT/BSD/Apache licenses are permissive but attribution is a condition of use. Shipping a bundled artifact without attribution violates the license terms for every included dependency. HIGH because it's a legal obligation, though typically resolved without litigation.

**Confidence rationale:** Whether a NOTICE/THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES file exists in the output directory is deterministic. The ambiguity is in whether all required packages are covered, yielding medium confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/missing-attribution`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (bundled extension without attribution):

```
dist/
  background.js    (bundles lodash, axios — both MIT requiring attribution)
  content.js
  # No THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES or NOTICE file present
```
*(FINDS: bundled dependencies without required attribution file)*

**True negative** (should produce NO finding):

```
dist/
  background.js
  THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES  (contains copyright notices for all bundled deps)
```
*(Attribution file present — no finding)*

---

### `tos-compliance/unlicensed-dependency`

**Severity:** `medium`
**Confidence:** `high`
**Detection:** `llm`

#### Detection

**LLM instruction (if detection = llm or hybrid):**

```
READ AND APPLY: ~/.claude/skills/audit/reference/fix-patterns.md
Use the Fix Type Reference table from that file when assigning fix_type and fix_confidence.
Do not rely on memory — open and apply the file.

Surface (1): OSS / DEPENDENCY LICENSE COMPLIANCE (unlicensed/unknown)

Enumerate dependency licenses (same enumeration as copyleft-in-proprietary check above).

Identify dependencies where:
- The license field is "UNLICENSED", undefined, or absent
- The license is proprietary without a clear commercial license for the project's use case
- The license is a custom string that is unrecognized (not a standard SPDX identifier)

Also check for license incompatibilities between dependencies:
- A GPL-3.0 dependency in a project that is GPL-2.0-only
- A mix of strong copyleft licenses with conflicting viral clauses

OPTIONAL internet check (do not block on the network — fall back to offline pattern
+ metadata analysis if unavailable):
- `npm view {package} license` or
  `WebFetch https://registry.npmjs.org/{package}` to resolve unclear license metadata.

For each finding: package name, its license metadata (or lack thereof), and why the
obligation is unclear. Recommend resolving via the registry, the package's repository, or
contacting the maintainer. auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/unlicensed-dependency
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** An unlicensed dependency carries unknown legal obligations — default copyright law applies, which means all rights are reserved by the author. Using it in a product could constitute infringement. MEDIUM because the risk is often theoretical for small/obscure packages; human review is needed.

**Confidence rationale:** "UNLICENSED" as a metadata value is deterministic. Identifying custom/unknown SPDX strings requires pattern matching that is reliable. HIGH confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/unlicensed-dependency`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`package.json`):

```json
{
  "dependencies": {
    "internal-tool": "1.0.0"
  }
}
```
*(Where internal-tool/package.json has `"license": "UNLICENSED"` — finding reported)*

**True negative** (should produce NO finding):

```json
{
  "dependencies": {
    "lodash": "4.17.21"
  }
}
```
*(lodash is MIT — clearly licensed)*

### `tos-compliance/scraping-prohibited-site`

**Severity:** `high`
**Confidence:** `medium`
**Detection:** `llm`

#### Detection

**LLM instruction (if detection = llm or hybrid):**

```
READ AND APPLY: ~/.claude/skills/audit/reference/fix-patterns.md
Use the Fix Type Reference table from that file when assigning fix_type and fix_confidence.
Do not rely on memory — open and apply the file.

Surface (2): THIRD-PARTY API & SERVICE ToS — scraping and crawling

Look for code that performs automated access to third-party sites whose ToS prohibit it:
- HTTP clients (fetch, axios, got, requests, httpx, net/http) making requests to LinkedIn,
  Meta/Instagram/Facebook, X/Twitter, Amazon product pages, Google SERP (not the official
  Search API), Ticketmaster, or other sites known to prohibit scraping in their ToS
- Headless browser automation (Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, Cypress) targeting
  third-party authenticated sites
- Use of yt-dlp, youtube-dl, or similar download tools against protected content
- Bulk crawling tools (Scrapy, Colly, crawler-based scripts) targeting third-party hosts
- Code that deliberately ignores robots.txt or randomizes request timing to avoid detection

Also check for:
- Prohibited storage/caching of provider data:
  Google Maps/Places content stored beyond cache limits; market/financial data redistributed;
  geocoding results cached against the provider's ToS; social media posts stored beyond
  what the API terms permit.

OPTIONAL internet check (do not block on the network — fall back to offline pattern
+ metadata analysis if unavailable):
- `WebSearch: "{service} terms of service automated access prohibited"`
- `WebFetch` the service's robots.txt or ToS page to confirm current policy

For each finding: the target site/service, the specific code performing the access, the ToS
clause being violated, and remediation (use the official API, obtain a data license, remove
the scraping code). auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/scraping-prohibited-site
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Scraping sites that prohibit it violates their ToS and may constitute unauthorized computer access. Major platforms enforce these terms actively. HIGH severity due to legal and service-disruption risk.

**Confidence rationale:** Identifying HTTP clients targeting known prohibited domains is reliable, but determining intent (scraping vs. legitimate API calls) requires context. Medium confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/scraping-prohibited-site`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`src/scraper.ts`):

```typescript
// FINDS: fetching LinkedIn pages in a loop — prohibited by LinkedIn ToS
for (const profileUrl of profileUrls) {
  const page = await fetch(profileUrl, { headers: { "User-Agent": randomUserAgent() } });
}
```

**True negative** (should produce NO finding):

```typescript
// OK: using the official LinkedIn API with a valid access token
const response = await fetch("https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me", {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}` },
});
```

### `tos-compliance/credential-misuse`

**Severity:** `high`
**Confidence:** `medium`
**Detection:** `llm`

#### Detection

**LLM instruction (if detection = llm or hybrid):**

```
READ AND APPLY: ~/.claude/skills/audit/reference/fix-patterns.md
Use the Fix Type Reference table from that file when assigning fix_type and fix_confidence.
Do not rely on memory — open and apply the file.

Surface (2): THIRD-PARTY API & SERVICE ToS — credential misuse

Look for patterns where API keys or credentials are used in violation of their terms:
- A single API key (stored server-side or in env vars) being proxied to many users without
  individual user accounts — often violates the provider's "one account per user" policy
- Free or personal-tier keys (trial/hobby plans) serving commercial or multi-tenant traffic
  that exceeds the tier's permitted use
- API keys embedded in client-side JavaScript, mobile binaries, or extension bundles where
  they can be extracted by end users
- Key rotation or credential pooling to circumvent per-key rate limits
- Proxy layers that strip provider attribution (e.g. reselling an API without disclosure)

For each finding: which credential is misused, how it is being shared or exposed, the
provider's specific policy clause being violated, and remediation (migrate to per-user
credentials, upgrade to commercial tier, move keys to server-side). auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/credential-misuse
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Sharing a single API key across many users or using free-tier keys commercially violates provider agreements, can lead to account termination, and may cause unexpected charges to the key owner. HIGH severity.

**Confidence rationale:** Client-side key embedding is detectable; identifying "proxied to many users" requires architectural inference. Medium confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/credential-misuse`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`src/api-proxy.ts`):

```typescript
// FINDS: personal free-tier OpenAI key hard-wired into commercial multi-tenant SaaS
// (sk-proj-... key belongs to individual free-tier account, not an org/paid account)
const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: "sk-proj-abc123freeTierPersonalKey", // free-tier personal key in commercial app
});
const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-4o",
  messages: userMessages, // serving all paying customers through one personal free-tier key
});
```

**True negative** (should produce NO finding):

```typescript
// OK: sanctioned pattern — org account platform key on the app backend serving all users
// OpenAI permits this; "one key per user" is not required for server-side API usage
const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY, // org/paid-tier platform key, server-side only
});
const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-4o",
  messages: userMessages,
});
```

Surface (3): APP / EXTENSION STORE & PLATFORM POLICY — remote code execution and hot-code-push

This check covers two related prohibited patterns:

A. Browser extension remote code (when manifest.json with "manifest_version" is detected):
Scan the extension source for patterns prohibited by Manifest V3 and Chrome Web Store policy:
- Fetching JavaScript, WebAssembly, or other executable code from a remote URL and executing
  it (fetch().then(eval), import() from a remote URL, dynamic script tag injection with
  a remote src, XMLHttpRequest to load code)
- Use of eval(), new Function(), setTimeout(string), setInterval(string), or
  Function.prototype.constructor(string) with any argument that could originate from
  a remote source or user input
- Obfuscated source code with no readable build: minified-only submissions without a
  corresponding human-readable source link are rejected by the Web Store
- Dynamically generated content scripts or background scripts
- WebSocket or SSE connections used to receive and execute code strings

B. Mobile app hot-code-push / executable code download (when iOS/Android project indicators
are detected — Info.plist, *.xcodeproj, Podfile, fastlane, AndroidManifest.xml, build.gradle):
- OTA update mechanisms (CodePush, Expo OTA for native modules, JSPatch) that change app
  functionality beyond JS content without App Store review
- Downloading and executing JS, bytecode, or native code from a CDN at runtime in ways that
  alter core app functionality (bypasses Apple's review requirement for code changes)
- RCTBridge or equivalent hooks used to load remote native modules

For each finding: the file and line, the specific remote-code or hot-code-push pattern, the
applicable platform rule being violated (MV3 policy / Apple Review Guideline 2.5.2), and
remediation (bundle all code, use a server API for data — not code execution; for iOS use
only permitted JS update frameworks that do not change native behavior).
auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/remote-code-extension
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Remote code execution in a browser extension bypasses the Chrome Web Store review process, is explicitly prohibited by Manifest V3, and causes immediate store removal. Mobile app hot-code-push that changes native functionality bypasses App Store review and results in removal or rejection. Both patterns are CRITICAL per the ToS prompt severity guidance ("IAP-bypass or remote-code causing store rejection/removal" listed under CRITICAL).

**Confidence rationale:** `eval()`, `new Function()`, and remote `<script>` patterns are syntactically identifiable. HIGH confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/remote-code-extension`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`background.js` in a Chrome extension):

```javascript
// FINDS: fetching and executing remote code — prohibited by MV3
fetch("https://cdn.example.com/plugin.js")
  .then(r => r.text())
  .then(code => eval(code));
```

**True negative** (should produce NO finding):

```javascript
// OK: all code is bundled; no remote execution
import { processData } from "./processors.js";
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(processData);
```

Surface (3): APP / EXTENSION STORE & PLATFORM POLICY — Apple In-App Purchase bypass

This check applies when Apple App Store project indicators are present:
Info.plist, *.xcodeproj, *.xcworkspace, Podfile, fastlane/, or iOS-targeted React Native /
Flutter project files.

Look for digital goods (content, features, subscriptions) sold or unlocked through a
payment processor other than Apple In-App Purchase:
- Payment SDK calls (Stripe, PayPal, Braintree, Square, Paddle, LemonSqueezy) inside
  iOS app code that complete a transaction which then unlocks digital content, premium
  features, or subscription tiers within the app
- Server-side payment completion webhooks that grant in-app entitlements based on a
  non-Apple payment processor transaction
- "Unlock" or "purchase" flows that call a backend payment endpoint instead of
  StoreKit / StoreKit 2 Product.purchase()
- Web views that redirect to a checkout page on the developer's own website to complete
  a digital purchase

EXEMPT (do NOT flag):
- Physical goods, services rendered outside the app, or digital goods consumed outside
  the app (e.g. restaurant orders, ride shares, Airbnb reservations, online courses)
- Reader apps granted an explicit App Store exception (Netflix, Kindle — no purchase
  button required)
- Tipping or donations handled outside the app

For each finding: the file/function performing the non-Apple payment, the digital good
or feature being unlocked, the Apple guideline being violated (3.1.1 — In-App Purchase),
and remediation (migrate to StoreKit / StoreKit 2). auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/iap-bypass
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Apple IAP bypass for digital goods violates App Store Review Guideline 3.1.1 and is a CRITICAL violation per the ToS prompt severity guidance ("IAP-bypass or remote-code that causes store rejection/removal" listed under CRITICAL). Apple enforces this actively: apps with IAP bypass are rejected on review or removed from the store with no grace period.

**Confidence rationale:** Detecting a payment SDK call that unlocks digital content requires tracing the entitlement grant path. Clear cases (Stripe in a subscription paywall flow) are reliable; ambiguous cases (generic backend purchase call) need context. Medium confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/iap-bypass`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`src/screens/SubscriptionScreen.tsx` in an iOS React Native app):

```tsx
// FINDS: digital subscription unlocked through Stripe — violates Apple IAP requirement
const handleSubscribe = async () => {
  const { paymentIntent } = await stripe.confirmPayment({
    elements,
    confirmParams: { return_url: "myapp://subscription-success" },
  });
  if (paymentIntent.status === "succeeded") {
    await unlockPremiumTier(user.id); // unlocks in-app digital features
  }
};
```

**True negative** (should produce NO finding):

```swift
// OK: using StoreKit 2 for in-app purchases
let product = try await Product.products(for: ["com.example.premium_monthly"]).first!
let result = try await product.purchase()
if case .success(let verification) = result {
  let transaction = try verification.payloadValue
  await transaction.finish()
  await grantPremiumAccess()
}

Surface (3): APP / EXTENSION STORE & PLATFORM POLICY — overbroad permissions

This check applies when manifest.json with "manifest_version" is detected (Chrome/Edge extension).

Review the manifest.json permissions and host_permissions fields for overbroad claims:
- "<all_urls>" or "http://*/*" or "https://*/*" host access without clear justification
  in the extension's functionality (the minimum host pattern should match only the sites
  the extension actually operates on)
- Permissions claimed but not used in the source: "tabs", "webRequest", "cookies",
  "scripting", "bookmarks", "history", "downloads" — verify each is needed
- "declarativeNetRequest" with rules that affect sites beyond the extension's stated purpose
- Undisclosed analytics or advertising SDKs that send user data to third parties without
  disclosure in the store listing
- Permissions that enable reading sensitive page content on banking, health, or shopping
  sites when the extension's purpose doesn't require it

For each finding: the permission claimed, why it appears overbroad relative to the feature
set, the MV3 least-privilege principle being violated, and the narrower permission or host
pattern that should be used instead. auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/overbroad-extension-permissions
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Overbroad permissions trigger Chrome Web Store review flags, can result in rejection or removal, and expose users to privacy risk. HIGH because store rejection is a likely outcome of broad permissions.

**Confidence rationale:** Comparing declared permissions against source code usage requires reading both, and some permissions may be legitimately broad (e.g. a privacy tool needing all-URL access). Medium confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/overbroad-extension-permissions`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`manifest.json`):

```json
{
  "permissions": ["tabs", "webRequest", "cookies", "history", "bookmarks"],
  "host_permissions": ["<all_urls>"]
}
```
*(Extension that only highlights text on a specific domain claiming all-URL access and unused permissions)*

**True negative** (should produce NO finding):

```json
{
  "permissions": ["activeTab", "storage"],
  "host_permissions": ["https://example.com/*"]
}
```
*(Minimal permissions matching stated functionality)*

Surface (3): APP / EXTENSION STORE & PLATFORM POLICY — store-specific violations

Detect the store/platform context from project indicators:
  - Info.plist / *.xcodeproj / Podfile / fastlane  → Apple App Store
  - AndroidManifest.xml / build.gradle             → Google Play
  - manifest.json with "manifest_version"          → Chrome/Edge Web Store (see also
    remote-code-extension and overbroad-extension-permissions checks)

NOTE: Apple IAP bypass (digital goods sold through non-Apple payment processor) is covered
by the separate tos-compliance/iap-bypass check. Hot-code-push is covered by
tos-compliance/remote-code-extension. This check covers the remaining store policy violations.

For Apple App Store projects, check for:
- Missing NS*UsageDescription strings in Info.plist for any permission used (camera,
  microphone, location, contacts, photos, etc.)
- App Tracking Transparency: collecting device advertising identifiers (IDFA) without
  ATT consent prompt
- Production secrets embedded in the shipped binary (API keys, credentials in .plist or
  compiled strings)
- Private or undocumented API use (UIKit internals, non-public frameworks)

For Google Play projects, check for:
- Sensitive permissions (READ_SMS, CALL_LOG, PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS, RECORD_AUDIO for
  unrelated features, QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES, MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) without a qualifying use
  declared in the Play Console
- Background location access (ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION) without prominent in-app
  disclosure to users
- Advertising ID (GAID) used beyond its permitted scope or collected from users under 13
- Missing privacy policy URL in the app manifest or Play store listing

For each finding: the platform, the specific policy violation, the policy clause number
(if known), and remediation. auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/store-policy-violation
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Store policy violations lead to app rejection on submission or removal from the store (for in-review or live apps). Apple IAP bypass is covered separately by tos-compliance/iap-bypass (CRITICAL); the remaining violations in this check are HIGH because they trigger mandatory remediation to maintain store presence.

**Confidence rationale:** Detecting missing NS*UsageDescription strings and sensitive permission declarations is relatively reliable. Determining whether a permission has a qualifying use requires knowing the feature set. Medium confidence overall.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/store-policy-violation`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`Info.plist` in an iOS app):

```xml
<!-- FINDS: camera permission used in code but NSCameraUsageDescription missing -->
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>For audio recording</string>
<!-- NSCameraUsageDescription absent, but camera API is called in source -->
```

**True negative** (should produce NO finding):

Surface (4): AI / LLM PROVIDER ToS — using outputs to train a competing model

This check applies when SDK calls to openai, anthropic, @anthropic-ai/sdk,
google-generativeai, cohere, replicate, or similar AI provider SDKs are detected.

Look for code patterns that:
- Store AI model outputs in a dataset or training corpus (files named *_dataset*, *_training*,
  *_finetune*, *_distill*; database tables for training data; JSONL files accumulating
  prompt-completion pairs from an API)
- Explicitly use stored outputs for fine-tuning or distilling another model
- Batch-generate outputs at scale (loops over many inputs, large-scale inference pipelines)
  where the volume pattern suggests dataset generation rather than production use
- Call one provider's model and store outputs to train/improve a competing model
  (e.g. using GPT-4 outputs to fine-tune an open-source model for commercial resale)

OpenAI prohibits using outputs to develop competing AI services.
Anthropic, Google, and Cohere have similar restrictions.

For each finding: the output collection code, the apparent training use, the provider's
specific clause, and remediation (use open-weight models for training data, obtain a
research license, or remove the data collection pipeline). auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/ai-output-training-competitor
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Training a competing model on a provider's outputs violates all major AI provider ToS and can result in immediate account termination and legal action. HIGH per the ToS prompt severity guidance.

**Confidence rationale:** Distinguishing production use from training-data collection from code structure alone requires inference. Data collection pipelines with training-oriented naming are detectable, but intent is not always clear. Medium confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/ai-output-training-competitor`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`scripts/generate_training_data.py`):

with open("finetune_dataset.jsonl", "w") as f:
    json.dump(training_data, f)
```

**True negative** (should produce NO finding):

Surface (3) and Surface (5): PLATFORM POLICY / ANY OTHER ToS — undisclosed data collection

Look for analytics, telemetry, and tracking code that contradicts a stated privacy policy or
platform disclosure requirement:
- Third-party analytics SDKs (Mixpanel, Amplitude, Segment, Heap, FullStory, Hotjar,
  Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel) included without disclosure in:
  - The app's privacy policy or store listing
  - Required permission justifications (Chrome Web Store Data Use Disclosures)
- PII collection (email, name, location, device IDs) sent to third-party analytics services
- Session recording or keystroke capture tools without user consent
- Children's data collected without COPPA/GDPR-K controls (apps targeting <13 year olds)
- Data broker or advertising SDKs without disclosure

For each finding: the specific SDK or endpoint, what data is sent, which privacy disclosure
is missing, and remediation (add to privacy policy, obtain consent, remove the tracker).
auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/undisclosed-telemetry
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Undisclosed data collection can violate GDPR, CCPA, COPPA, and platform policies. Store listings can be removed. MEDIUM because severity depends on the type of data collected and jurisdiction.

**Confidence rationale:** Detecting the presence of analytics SDK imports is reliable; determining whether they are disclosed in the privacy policy requires reading external documents. Medium confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/undisclosed-telemetry`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`src/analytics.ts`):

Surface (2): THIRD-PARTY API & SERVICE ToS — rate-limit and anti-abuse circumvention

Look for code patterns that deliberately circumvent a service's rate limits or anti-abuse
controls:
- IP rotation or proxy pools used to spread requests across IPs to evade per-IP rate limits
- User-agent randomization to impersonate different browsers or avoid bot detection
- CAPTCHA-solving services or APIs integrated into automated workflows
- API key rotation (cycling through multiple keys to exceed per-key quotas)
- Distributed scraping infrastructure designed to stay under per-source detection thresholds
- Headers designed to spoof browser fingerprints (Accept-Language, screen resolution, etc.)

For each finding: the specific circumvention technique, the service targeted, why this
violates the service's ToS anti-abuse provisions, and remediation (use official rate-limited
API, request a quota increase, or remove the automation). auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/rate-limit-circumvention
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Rate-limit circumvention violates provider ToS and can constitute unauthorized access under computer fraud laws. HIGH per the ToS prompt severity guidance (circumvention is listed under HIGH alongside scraping). Impact and enforcement vary by provider, but the category itself is HIGH.

**Confidence rationale:** IP rotation and CAPTCHA-solving library imports are detectable; subtle header manipulation is harder to distinguish from legitimate customization. Medium confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/rate-limit-circumvention`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`src/scraper.ts`):

```typescript
// FINDS: cycling through proxy IPs to evade rate limits

Surface (2): THIRD-PARTY API & SERVICE ToS — paywall, DRM, and license-check bypass

Look for code that bypasses access controls, DRM systems, or license checks of third-party
services:
- Metered paywall bypass: cookie manipulation, header injection, or private/incognito mode
  automation designed to access content beyond a free-article limit
- Login-wall bypass: automated account creation to access restricted content without payment
- DRM circumvention: software for stripping DRM from eBooks, video, audio, or software
  (Widevine, FairPlay, Adobe DRM, Steam DRM bypass)
- License-check patching: code that patches or bypasses license validation in commercial
  software binaries
- API endpoint access without proper authentication that a paying user would need to provide

For each finding: the bypassed access control, the specific technique, the copyright or ToS
clause at risk, and remediation (pay for access, use the licensed API, remove the bypass).
auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/paywall-bypass
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Paywall and DRM bypass violates ToS, may violate the DMCA (for DRM circumvention), and constitutes theft of service. HIGH severity given legal exposure.

**Confidence rationale:** Identifying DRM bypass libraries or paywall automation requires recognizing specific package names and patterns. The intent behind generic cookie manipulation is ambiguous. Medium confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/paywall-bypass`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`src/reader.ts`):

```typescript
// FINDS: clearing paywall cookies to get past a metered paywall
document.cookie.split(";").forEach(c => {

Surface (2): THIRD-PARTY API & SERVICE ToS — trademark and brand misuse

Look for use of third-party brand names, logos, or trademarks in violation of the provider's
brand guidelines:
- App or product name that includes a provider's trademark without permission
  (e.g. "GPT-Helper", "ChatGPT Pro", "Spotify Downloader", "Netflix Unlocker")
- Use of provider logos (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Stripe, etc.) in the product's own UI
  without following the official brand guidelines (typically require specific placement,
  color rules, and minimum clear space)
- Marketing or store listing copy that falsely implies endorsement or partnership with a
  provider
- Reselling or white-labeling an API under a competing brand name without disclosure

Check: app name in package.json / manifest.json, README branding, store listing text (if
present), UI components that render provider logos.

For each finding: the trademark used, the provider's brand guideline being violated, and
remediation (rename, obtain permission, follow official brand guidelines). auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/trademark-misuse
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Trademark misuse exposes the project to cease-and-desist and can result in store removal. MEDIUM because enforcement depends on the provider and the degree of misuse; nominative fair use may apply in some contexts.

**Confidence rationale:** Identifying provider names in product branding is reliable; determining whether the use violates brand guidelines requires knowing the specific guidelines. Medium confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/trademark-misuse`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`manifest.json`):

Surface (3) and Surface (5): PLATFORM POLICY / ANY OTHER ToS — missing privacy policy

Check whether the project has the required privacy policy documentation and references:
- App/extension collects any user data (names, emails, device IDs, usage events,
  location data) but has no privacy policy URL declared in:
  - manifest.json "homepage_url" or "privacy_policy" field (browser extension)
  - Google Play store listing (required if any data is collected)
  - Apple App Store listing privacy labels (required)
  - The app's own UI (settings, about, or onboarding screen)
- Privacy policy exists but does not disclose the types of data collected (generic or
  template policy that doesn't match the actual data collection in the code)
- GDPR/CCPA: European or California users can be identified from the user base but no
  privacy policy addressing their rights exists (right to access, deletion, portability)
- COPPA: app targets children under 13 (indicated by content, metadata, or marketing)
  but collects personal information without verifiable parental consent

For each finding: what data is collected (from code), what disclosure is missing, which
regulation or platform policy requires it, and remediation (create/update privacy policy,
add privacy policy URL to manifest). auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/missing-privacy-policy
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Missing privacy policy for an app that collects data violates GDPR, CCPA, and app store requirements. MEDIUM because this is typically resolved by creating documentation rather than changing code, and enforcement varies by scale.

**Confidence rationale:** Detecting data collection in code and the absence of a privacy policy URL is deterministic. HIGH confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/missing-privacy-policy`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`src/analytics.ts` + `manifest.json`):

Surface (4): AI / LLM PROVIDER ToS — prohibited use categories

This check applies when SDK calls to openai, anthropic, @anthropic-ai/sdk,
google-generativeai, cohere, replicate, or similar AI provider SDKs are detected.

Look for code that routes the AI API toward use cases explicitly prohibited in the
provider's usage policies:
- Generating sexual content involving minors (absolutely prohibited by all providers)
- Generating malware, exploit code, or cyberweapons
- Creating disinformation or synthetic identities at scale
- Facilitating human trafficking, violence, or terrorism
- Bypassing safety filters through prompt injection or jailbreaking attempts coded into
  the application logic (e.g. system prompts designed to remove safety restrictions)
- Generating medical, legal, or financial advice in contexts that require licensed
  professionals without appropriate disclaimers
- Automated CSAM or other illegal content generation in any form

Also check for:
- Scraping or reverse-engineering the provider's endpoint (undocumented parameters,
  internal endpoints not in the official API docs)
- Circumventing safety systems or rate limits through multi-account API key rotation

OPTIONAL internet check (do not block on the network — fall back to offline pattern
+ metadata analysis if unavailable):
- `WebFetch https://openai.com/policies/usage-policies` for current policy text
- `WebFetch https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup` for Anthropic's acceptable use policy

For each finding: the specific prohibited use, the code or system prompt enabling it,
the provider's policy clause, and remediation (remove the prohibited functionality,
add required safety guardrails). auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/ai-prohibited-use
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Prohibited AI uses trigger immediate account termination, legal liability, and potential law enforcement involvement in the most severe cases. HIGH because even lower-severity violations (jailbreaking, safety circumvention) lead to account termination.

**Confidence rationale:** Detecting prohibited content categories in system prompts requires semantic understanding. Jailbreaking prompts embedded in code are detectable but ambiguous. Medium confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/ai-prohibited-use`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`src/chat.ts`):

Surface (4): AI / LLM PROVIDER ToS — misrepresenting AI output

This check applies when SDK calls to openai, anthropic, @anthropic-ai/sdk,
google-generativeai, cohere, replicate, or similar AI provider SDKs are detected.

Look for code patterns where:
- AI-generated content is presented as human-authored without disclosure (chatbots that
  claim to be human when directly asked, ghostwritten content marked as written by a
  specific person, AI news articles without AI disclosure label)
- AI-generated content is presented as human in contexts where disclosure is legally or
  ethically required (patient communications claiming to be from a doctor, legal advice
  presented as from a licensed attorney, financial advice presented as from a licensed advisor)
- System prompts that instruct the AI to deny being an AI when asked
- Missing required attribution: some providers require attribution when their model name
  is publicly promoted (check provider-specific attribution requirements)

Also check for providers that restrict use in high-stakes autonomous decision-making
(credit decisions, criminal risk scoring, employment decisions) without human oversight.

For each finding: the context, the specific misrepresentation pattern, the provider's
disclosure requirement, and remediation (add AI disclosure label, remove the "deny being AI"
instruction, add human review gate). auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/ai-output-misrepresentation
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Misrepresenting AI output as human can constitute fraud in some contexts (medical/legal/financial) and violates most AI provider ToS. MEDIUM in the general case; specific contexts may warrant higher severity.

**Confidence rationale:** Detecting "deny being AI" instructions in system prompts is reliable when they are explicit; implicit misrepresentation through UI framing requires contextual interpretation. Medium confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/ai-output-misrepresentation`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`src/chatbot.ts`):

```typescript
// FINDS: system prompt instructs AI to deny being AI
const systemPrompt = `You are Sarah, a human customer support agent at Acme Corp.

Surface (4): AI / LLM PROVIDER ToS — storing prompts/outputs against provider terms

This check applies when SDK calls to openai, anthropic, @anthropic-ai/sdk,
google-generativeai, cohere, replicate, or similar AI provider SDKs are detected.

Look for code patterns that store user prompts or AI model outputs in ways that may conflict
with provider data-use terms:
- Storing raw user messages sent to an AI provider in a database without considering
  whether those messages contain PII that the provider's data terms restrict you from
  retaining
- Storing AI outputs alongside user-identifying information in a way that creates a
  persistent user profile for purposes the user did not consent to
- Logging full prompt/completion pairs to application logs that have long retention
  periods (e.g. CloudWatch with 1-year retention on prompts that may contain sensitive data)
- Feeding stored prompts back through the API in a way that constitutes "data portability"
  or "training" in the provider's data-use sense
- Using the API in "zero data retention" or "no training" mode but then storing outputs
  that were supposed to be ephemeral

For each finding: what data is stored, where (database table, log system), the provider's
specific data-use restriction, and remediation (add retention limits, redact PII before
storage, review provider data-use terms). auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/ai-data-retention-violation
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Storing data a provider forbids retaining creates both ToS violation and privacy risk. HIGH per the ToS prompt severity guidance ("storing data a provider forbids retaining" is listed under HIGH). The most severe form (using stored data for training a competitor) is also covered by ai-output-training-competitor; this check covers the retention violation itself.

**Confidence rationale:** Identifying database writes that store AI prompt/response data requires reading both the AI API call and the persistence layer. Medium confidence.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/ai-data-retention-violation`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`src/chat-service.ts`):

Surface (5): ANY OTHER RELEVANT ToS SURFACE

This is a catch-all check for compliance issues not covered by the more specific checks
above. Look for the following patterns, applying only to those relevant to this project:

Email/SMS:
- Transactional or marketing emails/SMS sent without proper consent mechanisms
  (CAN-SPAM, GDPR email consent, TCPA SMS consent)
- Missing unsubscribe mechanism in marketing emails
- Email sending from a domain without SPF/DKIM configuration (often violates ESP ToS)

Payment processors:
- Stripe, PayPal, or Square processing payments for restricted/prohibited business
  categories (gambling, firearms, adult content, cryptocurrency mixing, etc.) without
  the processor's explicit approval
- Chargeback fraud detection circumvention patterns

Cloud provider AUPs:
- Code that could trigger AWS/GCP/Azure AUP violations (cryptocurrency mining,
  mass email sending, DDoS tools, botnets)
- Storing child safety content or other absolutely prohibited content categories

OAuth:
- OAuth scope over-request: requesting more scopes than the application uses
  (e.g. requesting gmail.modify when only gmail.readonly is needed)
- Storing OAuth tokens beyond the session without user awareness

Demo/sample licenses:
- Dependencies or code marked with "not for production" or "sample/demo license" that
  are shipped in the production bundle

Font/CDN hotlinking:
- Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, or other CDN resources used in production in ways that
  violate their ToS (e.g. Adobe Fonts requires a valid Creative Cloud license)

OPTIONAL internet check (do not block on the network — fall back to offline pattern
+ metadata analysis if unavailable):
- `WebSearch: "{service} acceptable use policy prohibited"` for any service whose AUP
  terms are unclear

For each finding: the ToS surface, the specific pattern, the applicable policy, and
remediation. auto_fixable=false.
```

#### Spine Wiring

```yaml
check_id: tos-compliance/platform-tos-violation
detection: llm
```

#### Severity / Confidence

**Severity rationale:** Miscellaneous ToS violations vary widely in impact — from minor (missing unsubscribe link) to significant (restricted business category processing payments). MEDIUM as a floor, with specific findings escalated by the agent as appropriate.

**Confidence rationale:** This is a broad, heterogeneous catch-all check. Detecting specific patterns (OAuth over-request, demo licenses) is reliable; inferring business-category violations requires domain knowledge. LOW confidence overall.

**Rubric entry:** `tos-compliance/platform-tos-violation`

#### Fixture

**True positive** (`src/emails/marketing.ts`):

All sub-bullets from all 5 surfaces are covered, including the Surface 1 procedural sub-bullets (read own license, enumerate dependency licenses). No sub-bullet dropped. The OPTIONAL internet-powered deep checks instructions (WebFetch, WebSearch patterns) are preserved in the relevant LLM instructions, each guarded by the offline-fallback instruction (do not block on the network — fall back to offline pattern + metadata analysis).
