info dynamic-execution core/keyv/src/json-serializer.ts:29:9

`btoa` encodes a value as base64 at runtime — used in exfiltration patterns (ast pass, confidence 0.55)
```
	return btoa(binary);
}
```
info ~~warn~~ → info by review dynamic-execution core/keyv/src/json-serializer.ts:38:17

`atob` decodes a base64 value at runtime — common step before dynamic fetch or eval (ast pass, confidence 0.75)
```
	const binary = atob(value);
	const bytes = new Uint8Array(binary.length);
	for (let index = 0; index < binary.length; index++) {
```
likely benign LLM, confidence 0.90 Client-side base64-to-bytes decoding helper in a JSON serializer module using atob and Uint8Array.
Reasoning
The snippet shows atob used to decode a base64 string into bytes via a loop over charCodes into a Uint8Array, a standard binary decoding routine for serializing binary data. There is no evaluation, fetch, or execution of the decoded data, so the flagged dynamic-execution signal is a pattern-match false positive on a common legitimate operation.
