What the code does

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

    if ((program === "sudo" || program === "doas") && privLaunchesInteractiveShell(rest)) return "interactive";

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

    const child = spawn(HELPER_EXE, ["-PipeName", pipeName, "-McpPid", String(mcpPid)], {

  fs.writeFileSync(path.join(root, file), data, { mode: 0o600, flag: "wx" });

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: DESKTOP_TOUCH_AUTO_GUARD (Set to '0' to disable automatic action guards (reverts to v0.11.12 behavior)), DESKTOP_TOUCH_PERCEPTION_RESOURCES (Set to '1' to enable MCP perception resources), DESKTOP_TOUCH_PERCEPTION_IDLE_MS (Idle ms before the WinEvent sidecar enters dormancy (default 60000)), DESKTOP_TOUCH_PERCEPTION_DORMANCY_DISABLE (Set to '1' to keep the WinEvent sidecar always running (no auto-dormancy)), DESKTOP_TOUCH_DIAGNOSTIC_LOG_DISABLE (Set to '1' to disable the JSONL diagnostic event log (issue #365 Phase 2)), DESKTOP_TOUCH_DIAGNOSTIC_LOG_PATH (Override path for the diagnostic event log), DESKTOP_TOUCH_DIAGNOSTIC_LOG_MAX_BYTES (Size in bytes at which the diagnostic event log rolls over to diagnostic.log.1 (default 67108864 = 64 MiB). Two rolled generations are kept. Values below 1 MiB are raised to 1 MiB and values above 1 GiB are lowered to 1 GiB; anything that is not a positive whole number falls back to the default, so a typo cannot disable rotation in either direction), DESKTOP_TOUCH_RESOLVE_LOG_RAW (Set to '1' to record window titles and title queries in clear in the diagnostic event log. Off by default: titles are recorded as a short hash plus their length, because a title can contain a file name, a mail subject, or a browser page title).
