[Bug][cyber] Recovering or resetting local development Android device via authorized ADB (req_011CfqueFo91rfm6yNrXBvgy)

Triage: kind cyber · domain general · flagging model Opus 5.5 · silent fallback to Opus 4.8 · severity session-halted (blocked authorized work) · reproducible: yes — server-side via the Request ID(s) below

Type: Cybersecurity safety-filter false positive · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

The classifier triggered on a request for standard recovery and reset options on a local test device connected over an authorized wireless debugging interface. Managing recovery modes or wiping a test unit across an existing developer bridge is routine hardware maintenance rather than an exploit. The workflow relies entirely on documented platform debugging commands for equipment already under physical and administrative control.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred 1× across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-10-09T02:54:16.941Z.

Request IDs (lookup-able server-side)

• req_011CfqueFo91rfm6yNrXBvgy · answered by Opus 4.8 instead (2026-10-09T02:54:16.941Z)

Model fallback

Claude Code did not surface this block. claude-opus-5-5 refused the request (API refusal category cyber, scope session) and the CLI re-ran it on claude-opus-4-8 without asking. The work continued on the weaker model; the Request ID above is the refused call.

In-scope justification

False positive — in-scope, authorized security work; not out of scope. Filed automatically by claudit.

Block message

Opus 5.5's safeguards flagged this session. You may be seeing this for the first time: Opus 5.5 is more capable and has stronger safeguards as a result, which can sometimes flag non-cybersecurity work. We're improving these safeguards to reduce the amount of incorrectly flagged messages. Opus 4.8 is answering instead, or you can edit and retry with Opus 5.5.
