-- **The security class reaches outbound URLs, archives and every `child_process` spelling** (GST-850). `lib/review-risk.ts` now flags `fetch`, `http(s).request`, axios, got, undici, `requests` and `urlopen` on non-literal URLs, `new URL` from input, redirect toggles, proxy settings and host allowlists; tar, zip and unzip extraction, `path.join` or `resolve` on request or entry input, and `'..'` checks; and Node `exec` through named, default, namespace, split-line, `require` and dynamic imports. The split-line import scan runs in one forward pass.
+- **The security class reaches outbound URLs, archives and every `child_process` spelling** (GST-850). `lib/review-risk.ts` now flags any call to an outbound HTTP client (`fetch`, `http(s).get` or `.request`, axios, got, undici, `requests`, `httpx`, urllib), `new URL` from input, redirect toggles, proxy settings and host allowlists; tar, zip and unzip extraction, `path.join` or `resolve` on request or entry input, and `'..'` checks; and any changed line that names the `child_process` module. The new rules parse no import clause or call arguments, and a test holds each under 100 ms on 200,000-character hostile lines.
 - **The money class reads metering and charge code.** Paths and lines naming meter, metering, metered, charge, billable, billed or credits, plus token usage, a billing proxy and cost or charge clients, now route to the money reader. gbrain-evals #289, which changed a metering proxy and billing clients and read `required=none`, is now a regression test that reads money. "costume", a CLI's usage text and a plain proxy do not count.
 - **When a diff publishes numbers, the batched specialist reads the write-up's text files** instead of leaving docs out of its diff. The collector records the files a diff creates.
 - **UI text and SVGs stay code (light).** An allowlist docs path for chart SVGs and locale values was built and dropped for review cost: its first review round found a new bypass class in each version. Every bypass found so far is a test row that classes as code.
