PolinRider Spreads Through Compromised GitHub Accounts and Packagist
Operators behind PolinRider used a compromised GitHub account to plant malware in four development versions of a Packagist package with 700,000+ downloads.

Advanced tools
Environment-agnostic Actor base class with lifecycle, timers, readiness, and optional telemetry
The Actor base class — the extracted XL1 ActorV3 pattern, merged with the
dapp-core AbstractActor improvements — plus supervision helpers. Compiles
neutral (browser + node + any JS runtime).
Actor — create/start/stop lifecycle (AbstractCreatable), non-overlapping
interval timers with firstRun: 'immediate' | 'deferred' phasing, readiness
warm pass (readyHandler / runReadyHandler / whenReady), abort signal per
start cycle, pre-lock cooperative requestCancellation(), memoized
shutdown() rollback, and no-op-safe OpenTelemetry
instrument helpers (counter / gauge / histogram / upDownCounter /
span / spanAsync)Orchestrator — parallel/dynamic actor supervision (from xyo-chain), with a
structural readiness guard instead of an instanceof gate and cancellation
requested before it waits for in-flight starts or enters actor stopbootActors — sequential create → start → warm-pass boot with rollbackstopOrShutdown — stop with shutdown() fallbackcreateMemoryLocator — Map-backed InstanceLocator for tests, browser boot,
and locator-less consumerscreateDeferred — rejection-sink-attached deferredPeriodicActor — non-overlapping scheduled and one-shot passes, retry
accounting, overridable terminal-error policy, and whenFailed() for
process supervisionProviderActor — an Actor constructed from a ProviderActorContext.
Actor-specific config varies per actor, while every context references the
same immutable ResolvedProviderSystem and therefore the same locator,
provider instances, resolved provider config, and provider resolution. It
layers the PeriodicActor run coordinator with scheduling disabled by
default: runToCompletion() provides an auto-stopping one-shot lifecycle,
wake() accepts wired events, and isSchedulingEnabled: true enables timer
events.Actor structurally satisfies @ariestools/cli-kit's ManagedActor contract;
a type-level conformance spec (cli-kit as devDependency) locks that in.
