What's Wrong?

I give a stack trace including the line: $ExternalSyntheticLambda0.onItemClick(R8\$\$SyntheticClass:0)
at

I try multiple variations and consistently get refused for AUP violation.
I then open the prompt in vim, %s/[Ss]ynthetic//g, and Claude happily gets to work

What Should Happen?

Claude should not search for the string "synthetic" as a way of detecting AUP violations, because that is obviously ridiculous.
